Hi! I really don't know what to put here. I am adventurous, a teacher, and a roller derby official. I have fun and have always loved to travel and although I've known about CS for the better part of a decade I've never felt compelled to join.

I consider myself a good cook and am happy to whip up paella, a pot of vegan red sauce, or beeramasu for my hosts.

I used to work out in the woods for the Park Service but then took up a more genteel career, so I have some interesting stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be moving to Beijing in the near future to work for an ESL company. I am looking for a short-term place while I get my bearings and set up an apartment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've used a chainsaw on top of a mountain in the middle of a stream in the middle of a thunderstorm to prevent a historic cabin from washing away.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking, brewing, stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking (I think I mentioned that a few times). I can whip something up or help with a big solid meal. I'm also happy to help with things around the house or help people improve their English.
