I grew up in Southern CA. After college, I spent about 2 years living and traveling in various parts of Asia. When I cam back to the US I lived in Kansas City, MO for about two years. Right now I am in Austin, TX. Not sure for how long or where I will go next.

I teach High School ESL during the day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been on CS for almost 10 years. I have taken some long hiatuses from CS, but I always come back to it.

I have done more hosting than surfing. I really enjoy hosting, although unfortunately I am unable to do so now.

I have meet so great people and had some amazing times through CS. I hope to continue meeting people and collecting experiences through CS.
