In June I'm moving to Cancún, Mexico to work as an English teacher for International House. I love traveling, Spanish, soccer, laughing, reading, singing, and meeting new people. I'm trying to get into photography and dancing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, as I'm sure you can guess, I love to travel. One of my favorite things about traveling is the people you meet and share experiences with. I've always loved staying in hostels for that reason, but I figured couch surfing would help me meet more locals. I have some friends who've had some really great experiences with it.

Music, Movies, and Books

A lot of time I feel like these change depending on where I am in my life, but here are a few consistant favorites:

Music: Nora Jones , John Mayer, Needtobreathe

Movies: The Shawshank Redemption, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Pirates of the Caribbean (first one), Amelie

Books: The Poisonwood Bible, Harry Potter, SPUD

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn how people see the world. How they see other people, how they see their environment and their connection to it, what they think the "purpose" of it all is...

One of my guilty pleasures is the Humans of New York blog. I follow a few other blogs like it like "Portraits of America" and "Everyday Africa. " I just love how even though you've never met these people, you get a little peek into their lives and they can still teach you something though they may be hundreds of miles away.
