Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As of March 29, I'm embarking on a 'round the world adventure with my husband, Justin. We're hoping to visit over 40 countries around the globe in the next 3 or so years, and we can't wait to meet new friends in all of them!

Interests

Food (specifically, eating it, though I also cook); classic films of the 30's and 40's (particularly comedies); mystery novels (or pretty much any other reading material that strikes my fancy); new places (see aforementioned travel plans); photography (old school, I.E. on film); cultural activities (museums, opera, theatre, dance, etc.); hiking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught English (writing and literature) at the University of California, Irvine, for 7 years, so I can tutor in those subjects :)

I can also cook (though Justin is the real chef), sing (and Justin can play just about any instrument) and share stories about adventures from around the world.
