Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, meeting new people, sharing new experiences, and making connections with them. I love living like a local and treating my guests like locals. I love learning about new cultures and sharing my culture with other people. It's a small world and and making friends all over the world make it feel more like home.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Harry Potter series is my all time favorite book series. I love most genres of music except maybe screamo or heavy metal. I can appreciate any type of music as a music teacher. I'm drawn to folk style music with acoustic sounds.
