I'm a renegade chemist working in education and taking time off here and there to travel and ski. I'll be working full time this fall as a high school chemistry teacher so I'm taking advantage of free time now and traveling!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I took some time off to go on a 3-month solo trip in Asia. My trip was so much more awesome because of all the people I met and hosted me. It's time to give back.

Now I'm traveling to Japan for the first two weeks of June 2015. I'm looking forward to meeting people in my travels! And say the word, if you like coffee, I'll bring you some Puerto Rican coffee :) (fair warning, I don't drink much coffee but my mom is from a coffee town and she gives me recommendations).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ski with your toes.

What I Can Share with Hosts
