Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

While living in a cottage in Charlottesville is perfectly Thoreauvian, travelling is also therapeutic. Each summer, I chaperone high schoolers on trips abroad (usually Spanish speaking countries). During time off from work I like to see new places. To couchsurf is to truly explore.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I am both actively teaching and learning Spanish, enthusiastic to share.

I'm very interested in living sustainably with little ecological impact, curious to know more and become more practiced.

Always eager to explore mind, body, and spirit.
