Overview
About Me
I'm an ESL Instructor who left her native NYC in 2011 to teach abroad. Since then, I've lived in Italy, China, and Russia. I've also visited many other countries over the years.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It's my first time…. I've done the lone hostel backpacker thing and that was adventurous back-in-the-days, but I always only made friends with other foreigners! Couchsurfing seems like a sure way to meet interesting locals I can connect with and hopefully create meaningful friendships with.
Interests
I love to dance and sing (the singing is not as good as the dancing:-). I also enjoy watching and learning different forms of dance that I can't do :-P I
like to cook and to eat! Good food and laughter are my favorite pass times.

Teach - I can teach you how to douggie…just kidding :-) How about interior decor , organizational skills, or international cuisine.
Learn - I enjoy learning languages so please teach me some key phrases in your native tongue…
Share - My brain: there's a lot going on in there….
