I’m a high school Biology teacher that is happiest outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met a couple of couchsurfers while I was wandering around in Japan and they convinced me to join. They were incredibly kind people and their experiences sounded amazing.

I joined because I want to experience places and cultures from a local’s perspective and meet new friends. I like to learn from and share genuine experiences with other people. I think traveling is more fun when I can make meaningful connections with people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve wanted to hike to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park ever since my dad hiked it when I was a little kid. Last summer, I finally hiked to the top!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share a hike, volleyball game, or any of your favorite activities with you. I want to learn about your culture and life perspective. I am currently trying to learn how to use a pottery wheel, teach myself how to surf, and want to get more experience climbing outdoors so it would be amazing if you could share your knowledge with me. I can teach you to play piano.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am positive, kind, and considerate. I can be a hiking buddy, beach volleyball partner, and top rope climbing partner. I am always willing to go on an adventure.
