About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, Love, Laugh, Explore

ABOUT ME

In 2008, I was traveling around the world (sort of)... I was living and working in China and then took the train across Russia and then visited friends in Europe and the UK before returning home to the US in October 2008. I worked in the Twin Cities while attending graduate school, and now I live and work in Honduras. I have been or currently am a teacher, counselor, secretary, volunteer, vegetarian, dog-owner, confidante, explorer, photographer, philosopher.

PHILOSOPHY

I think this quote sums up my philosophy best:
"Every morning I awake torn between a desire to save the world and an inclination to savor it. This makes it hard to plan the day." - E. B. White

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
