I'm passionate about teaching and making a difference. I'm currently living the island life while at grad school in Hawaii. I recently lived in Colombia, South America and loved it. I can't wait to go back! I love traveling, learning about other cultures, pushing my comfort zone, and growing from the experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a teacher and am always on a budget. At the moment I'm not traveling much, but I look forward to it again once I'm done with grad school! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While living in Spain, I had the privilege of visiting Morocco for a few days. During that time, I met a Moroccan school teacher who teaches in a poor, rural area. This teacher showed me his school, which was a small school house outside and up in the hills. While there we ran into and talked with one of his former students for a few minutes. The experience opened my eyes and was a reminder for us American teachers that although we get frustrated by a lack of school resources, some places have even less.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you American English if you want to learn or improve yours. I can teach you math and probably many other random things.

I would love to improve my Spanish. I also enjoy learning about any culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories, crazy outdoor adventures (if you want to join me!), and engaging conversation where we are present rather than looking at our phones. :)
