About Me

I am a Latin, Chinese, and Chemistry Teacher at a small private school in Florida. I love traveling and even more than that, I love learning languages. My life goal is to have 5 major world languages under my belt by the time I'm 80.
But I am also discovering that I love history and Medieval languages as well. Let's see which wins out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
