I live on a farm near Potosi, Missouri, United States with my husband and two dogs. We both teach in the local school district, love traveling, and are dedicated to investing our lives in traveling worldwide.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet people with interesting stories and experiences that are different from my own. Additionally, my favorite part about traveling is meeting locals for a more authentic experience.

Interests

I read extensively and am finishing a Ph.D. program in Education. I enjoy painting, drawing, and coaching cheerleading.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a variety of musical styles, though music with acoustic guitar or strong percussion are my favorite. I prefer comedies and dramas, but I don't like horror movies. My favorite books are those by J.K. Rowling, Khaled Hosseini, James Herriott, and David Sedaris.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years ago I went skydiving for my 25th birthday. It was terrifying, and I'm so glad I did it!

Teach, Learn, Share

For those who visit us, we can offer a reclusive retreat from life. At our farm, we have no cellular service, two guest bedrooms, two friendly dogs, plenty of coffee and tea, and a beautiful view outside. If you want to come see a secluded part of rural Missouri, we'd love to host you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my knowledge of formal English (I'm an English teacher and native English speaker), a flexible attitude, and a strong desire to learn.
