Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to CS, but am open to meet up for a drink or coffee, as well as host and surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a newb, but have heard great things from friends and family about their experiences.

Interests

I am professionally passionate about education. I am here in China learning about the education system and teaching Chinese students in a college-prep high-school program. I love seeking out new, exciting cities and people. I enjoy traveling most when it forces me to squirm a little. I definitely have roots in California, but I love taking adventures to places that take me out of my comfort zone. I also love learning about the history of countries and people by experiencing them myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fall 2011 I (somehow) won a radio contest in CA and the grand prize was an all inclusive trip to Capetown, South Africa. I was able to bring a guest along and that guest was my Mom. We had such a blast exploring this beautiful part of the world. Summer 2011 and 2012 I have worked in the American Scene Summer Camp in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, China...such a joyous experience to work with Chinese kids. Mexico is a favorite place of mine, especially Baja. Numerous times have my friends and I crossed the border, drove south and gotten into and quickly out of a little trouble.
