About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet more of the many interesting people on this earth.

ABOUT ME

I am an English Teacher.
I think that my friends would say I am a soft spoken individual who likes to listen and relax. I am open minded, very flexible, and interested in going new place, eating new food, meeting new people, and experiencing new things.

PHILOSOPHY

"A ship is safe in the harbor, but that is not what they are built for"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed all around Spain during the Summer of 2012.

Interests

I have a passion for literature of all kinds and a desire to work with children and expand their minds through education. I like practicing yoga, playing soccer, blues dance, drink coffee, and I am learning tango dancing.

I like meeting new people who can show me new ways of viewing the world, who can make me rethink what I take for granted

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most all books, especially Perks of Being Wallflower, all of Hemingway, and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Folky music, coldplay, josh ritter, frightened rabbit.
Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, 500 days of summer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling around Spain alone, meeting lots of people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to swing dance, blues dance, or some English. I want to learn Spanish, your views on things, and the way you see the world. I can share my experiences, a good conversation, and make a good meal to share.

I have some interesting insights into education in the U.S.
I also love talking about food and cooking food.
