CURRENT MISSION

“The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.” Nelson Henderson.

ABOUT ME

I am easy going and love adventure! I have a passion for people and try to make a difference in the work that I do, whether that is tutoring at risk students in urban schools, working in social entrepreneurship in rural Africa, or training teachers in Ecuador.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is an amazing opportunity to really explore an area. I have found that I learn more about a place when I stay with someone from there.

While I have not yet been able to host a couchsurfer I am eager for the opportunity to share what I love about my city!

Interests

I love being outdoors, so hiking, kayaking, running, rollerblading, biking, attempting to golf, these are all things I enjoy very much! Also, nothing beats a good cup of coffee and a good book.
