I'm a high school teacher who likes to take advantage of spring, winter, and summer breaks! I love all things outdoors - camping, hiking, climbing, wakeboarding, & snowboarding. Love music events, from small underground shows to music festivals. I seek relationships and experiences that teach me things about the world around me, things that are different, things that are interesting, things that help me learn and grow!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm embarking on a 3-week trip to Europe before going to work a summer camp in Czech. Looking to meet new friends, & learn about these areas from a local’s perspective, avoiding the tacky “Top 10 things to do in *insert city here*”.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job in banking, moved to Korea to teach English, fell in love with education, and pursued a career in it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a teacher, so naturally I like to challenge those around me. Tend to play devil’s advocate & try to think critically. Enjoy these types of shared experiences, & those who seek the same thing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I seek positive, constructive relationships, lasting friendships, good conversation, and good times! If you care to show me around and teach me a thing or two, I'm sure we would all benefit. I appreciate music sharing and good conversation over good beer.
