**traveling now and unable to accept guests for the next few months**

Every day I consider myself lucky to be living in a world with so much to see.

I work as an English teacher at an elementary school and love my job and all the unexpected chaos it brings.

I live with my recent fiancé in South Korea and I love exploring the world with him.

I love meeting new people and hearing new stories.

I love to cook and experiment with new ingredients and fusions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why not? What a beautiful way to interact with people and share new experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most books by Nick Hornby. Some old favorites include The Bell Jar, Me Talk Pretty One Day, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Shantaram...

Music- I love all of it! I especially enjoy being introduced to new music and seeing live performances. Anytime somebody picks up a guitar or opens the piano or bangs on a drum there is a smile on my face.

Too many movies to mention... though these days I rarely go to the theater

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Staying with a Masai tribe in Kenya. They had never seen a foreigner before and were scared of me at first. We couldn't speak to each other yet I learned so much from them. They were a beautiful family and so kind to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to teach English and reading. Though I've never tried, I imagine I would be pretty good at teaching cooking also.

I want to learn everything! I never want to stop learning.

Sharing stories, memories, and smiles.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope that I can share some laughs, experiences, and ideas with anybody I come across.

I also love to cook for people when the opportunity arises. I believe sharing a meal is the best way to learn about others.
