I recently moved to Fes, Morocco, after almost two years in Indonesia, and four years in China. I'm an English Teacher and language student with a high level of wanderlust!

Naturally, I want to explore every corner of Morocco, and would love to have you join me.

I also have strong desires to go to Jordan, Turkey, and India for in-depth travels in the future.

If you are SCUBA certified, come with me to dive in Malaysia, the Phillipines, and a live-aboard in Komodo National Park, Indonesia :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, play tour guide, and get to know people, cultures, and languages from around the world. I think if people can understand each other a little better, it goes a long way towards world peace.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite authors are Isabel Allende, Joanne Harris, Khaled Hosseini, Carlos Ruiz Zafon, and Tahir Shah.

I like music to suit my mood - fast music for driving and exercising, poetic music when I'm at home with tea or coffee and want to think.

I have the strange habit of not watching movies more than once...once I've seen it, I'm over it. I DO like going to the movies, but I don't own any DVDs or store movies on my computer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to China by myself...without a single bit of language skills. I stayed for four years before moving on to Indonesia, and am in Morocco now.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to meet local friends or visitors with similar interests to explore with.
