About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

ABOUT ME

I'm a travel junkie first and foremost. I have always loved school and going to the library so it's befitting that I've become a high school librarian. I love my job and not just because of June, July, and August although for better or worse, this is when I do almost all of my traveling. I strive daily to be a better person. It's never too late to do the right thing or anything for that matter.

PHILOSOPHY

We are what we eat, who we associate with, and where we travel to.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

I rarely watch the same movie or read the same book twice. My only exceptions so far have been: Movie--The Graduate and Book: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I can't stand horror movies but otherwise have a broad taste in films. I love to read Young Adult Fiction and not just because it's a big part of my job. Some favorite bands include James Blunt, Polyphonic Spree, Pink Floyd, Coldplay, Grateful Dead, and Phish. I'm a huge fan though of just about any music played live on stage in front of me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed the Great Wall of China.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking, Spanish language/grammar, video editing. I would love to learn how to sail!

Countries I’ve Visited

China, Honduras, Japan, Peru, Russian Federation, Spain, Taiwan
