I'm an American living in Amman, Jordan for work. I do behavioral therapy with a child who has autism. I will be in Amman through June 2015. I've had a great experience here so far and look forward to traveling around the Middle East.

I've never used Couchsurfing before, hence no reviews. I'm potentially looking for a couch in Cairo in mid-February though!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to do some traveling while I'm here and would prefer a cheap, local experience to an expensive, detached one.

**Unfortunately I am not able to host. My apartment is paid for by my company and per my contract I am not allowed to have guests that aren't family. I could potentially lose my job so it's not worth it to me. I am happy to buy you a meal or drink (or two) though!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to Amman, Jordan with a week's notice. I'm very glad I did!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really excited about getting to travel around this area of the world, learning more about the Arabic culture, and challenging some misconceptions that many people have about the area.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to do some travel together and make friends in the area, but I'm also okay with just having a place to sleep and going out on my own. However it works out is fine with me!
