ABOUT ME

I am a teacher in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I love backpacking, reading philosophy and meeting amazing humans from all walks of life. I have an inherent trust in the goodness of humanity—especially people in the Couchsurfing community!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Past roommates and I have enjoyed the company of "couch surfers" from all over the world, and each and every one has left a lasting impression on my heart.

I love to travel, I have backpacked through some of Central and South Americas.

During the month of December, I will be traveling in and around Paris, and maybe other parts of France. I will need places to stay during this time, but most of all I would love to meet new people and make lifelong friends. Another goal is to improve my French through immersion. I have an elementary level of speaking and understanding French. I believe couch surfing will help me!

I love the outdoors of course, reading, gardening, cooking, making jokes, and anything having to do with wine.
