Extrovert. Thoughtful. Lover of life. Here to learn, unlearn and relearn what is out there. Big believer of living in the moment and being present. Simply love to travel and the adventure of discovering new people and places.
Since 2014; I'm a full-time third grade teacher in Thailand and a part time boxer. I'm a very easy going- simple yet full of life. Some of my dreams are to learn how to base-jump, sail, and fly a plane. Interested in sustainable living, permaculture, volunteering and giving back to the community. I've wwoofed in Canada and Japan, which were great experiences. I absolutely love being surrounded by nature and the outdoors. I really enjoy learning about different cultures, history, politics and any good mind-stimulating conversations. Optimistic, love over fear, here to serve humanity. I've worked in group homes and foster care back home and also 4 years in carpentry after high school up to post secondary. Drummer(Shower singer), so I've got a few skills;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe CS testifies that there is still trust in this world. Both host and guest are willing to take a chance at one another. It's a great way to meet like-minded individuals, exchange culture knowledge, share stories, learn something new, unlearn something old, and of course discover and give back. An amazing opportunity to interact with people personality in their most personal space, (their home).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had my first missions trip to La sierra Tarahumara when I was 12 years old with the youth of my church. 5 years ago camped solo in, British Columbia, Canada for 9 and a half weeks; mountain biking and exploring the province. Hitchhiked for two months across northern India with a French girl whom I met at an ashram in, Rishikesh. Most recently traveled into the Thai jungle with Buddhist monks on a missions trip.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach hand control for drumming, Muay Thai boxing, Spanish and English, Origami. I enjoy learning almost anything new. History, art and music. I also know wood-work and can help with any projects around your place or in the garden. I believe that in surviving others we get the most out of our lives.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've taught English in Canada and Thailand at the high school and primary level for over 6 years. Certified snowboard instructor. I play drums and practice boxing. I worked in group homes and as a youth worker in Canada. Can share life experiences and lend an ear anytime. I also know wood-working and gardening. Willing to help out with anything.
