English teacher by trade, writer by passion, traveler by choice. Deep love and respect for adventure and learning. I love to talk, listen, and laugh. Don't be alarmed when I lay on the floor with your dog, ask you a million questions about your city, and force you to teach me all of the languages that you know. I will be your favorite guest :)

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm looking to travel the world on a teacher's salary. But even more than that, I'm looking to make new friends and construct relationships that will help me become a global person. And I promise that if you're ever in Chicago at the same time as me, you're welcome over!!

Intereses

Traveling. Traveling. Traveling...

Also, learning new languages, and experiencing new cultures. Yoga. Cooking. Music. Gardening. Reading anything and everything. Love to sit with a cold beer and a warm heart and talk about things that matter :)

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach you how to read, write, and have incredibly perfect English grammar. I can cook you a delicious meal with whatever you have in your pantry.

I want to learn how to tango and salsa dance! Also, if you know any other languages, I'd like to pick up as much as I can!

I can share stories, bucket lists, and future plans for traveling.
