Hello! After having lived a comfortable life in NYC as a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson, I've decided to make a drastic career change and teach English internationally. Teaching English allows me to travel with purpose: I'm doing something meaningful and (hopefully) improving the lives of my students while exploring new places and meeting new people. I've lived/taught in Thailand and am currently in Moscow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted twice back in NYC and the experience was great! I hope to make new friends as I make my way around the world.
