For the last two years I have been living and teaching English in a village in Ukraine. I'm originally from a small town in the US, but I love traveling to as many places as I can. I love to make people laugh and have fun, learning from everyone I meet.

I enjoy reading and cooking, and I'm pretty easy to get along with. I could spend all day in a cafe, or a museum, or wandering through the streets of whatever city I'm in. I am up for anything when it comes to traveling and I want to see as much of the world as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and sharing stories. I feel like staying with a person who knows the culture and the city makes the experience even more exciting.
