ABOUT ME

I'm an American from Minnesota and spent the last five years in Chicago. I went to university in Chicago and then taught at a brand new charter school in a rough neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. My next adventure is teaching English in Spain!
I love learning about different cultures, and talking about global politics. I won't tell you my own opinions here, you'll have to get them out of me. I believe the best way to come to truth is through dialogue and someone has to play the devil's advocate;) I also love reading Russian Literature and a guilty pleasure is American Country music. I also enjoy personality tests! I know they're pseudoscience and what not, but I still love to analyze and dissect them. It's fun! I'm an ENTP in meyers briggs and a 7w8 in enneagram, if that means anything to you:)
I've never tried couch surfing before and I'm a little scared, but I'm still going to go for it!
I'm very flexible and rarely have much of an agenda. I'm very go with the flow and won't be a needy or demanding guest.
