CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and learn new languages. So far I've spent considerable time in Italy, Honduras, Brazil, Spain, Portugal, Morocco,France,Costa Rica and Mexico. Next stop, hopefully Peru. I'd like to hike up Machu Picchu. Then later Egypt,India, Turkey, Australia... just everywhere!

My hobbies include playing sports, especially soccer and movie watching and reading. Yes, I'm a big nerd. In fact literature was my major in college and I became a literature teacher.

PHILOSOPHY

Experience each day to the fullest.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far it has been great. I haven't been out of the country in a couple of years so I haven't met any new couch surfers but my host in Spain and Italy were just amazing people. I hope to meet some new members this summer.
