ABOUT ME

I am a 37 year old teacher living in southeast Tennessee. I love to travel when I can afford it. I've been to 35 countries and look forward to making that number bigger not just by entering a country but by staying a while and experiencing the local culture. I am very laid back, I like helping people and meeting new and interesting people.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in modern science. When I die, my conciousness is finished.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
