I want to learn new things every day and experience things outside of my comfort zone! I grew up in the mountains so I love being outdoors, camping, and hiking. Food is one of my greatest joys so I also spend a lot of time eating and cooking.

When I'm not traveling I work as a teacher for children and adults with autism, working to improve their quality of life and learn. I also wash dishes in the evenings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
