After two years working as a Peace Corps Volunteer in The Gambia, I continued my adventures by journeying to China! In China, I take care of my grandparents in tandem with working as an English Teacher. I have a vested interest in traveling, video games, food, and tennis. I consider myself to be a Scorpio personified. If the Sorting Hat ever sat on my head, it would vacillate between Slytherin and Gryffindor, but I think I'd likely end up in the former.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Before heading back to the States to pursue a professional degree in Nursing and Public Health, I want to travel throughout southeast Asia! I'm a relationship-traveler, meaning I travel to make friends. I think a great way to do so is by couch surfing.
