Southern roots from the U.S.A. Graduated with an Art Ed degree. Moved to the mountains once I graduated and never really looked back.

Currently I am teaching English in NE Thailand, my contract is from Oct-April.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to this whole "international travel" thing. I have never couch surfed (with strangers) before nor have I hosted couch surfers, but since I recently stumbled upon this website I am totally fascinated by it! So we need to change that immediately!! While I am under my teaching contract I will be traveling throughout Thailand. Afterwards, I am backpacking through Germany, France, and the U.K. for a month. This is my first time even outside of the U.S. so I am hoping to make it the most memorable experience possible! I genuinely enjoy meeting new people and learning about new cultures and lifestyles. I want to meet all different kinds of people along the way and see as much as I can, what better way to do it than couch surf!?

I am also hoping to utilize this when I arrive back in the states and paying it forward to other couchsurfers.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything I can dance to....but mainly indie and folky stuff.

Mostly scary and thriller movies.

I'm a sucker for cheesy romance novels.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My company and conversations. I love meeting new people and having the ability to talk about different interests and cultures. I am more than happy to share my experiences and talk about anything and everything! I'm not a good cook. But I am always down to have a beer or to watch a good movie.

Countries I’ve Lived In
