I'm from a small coastal California town, but I've been all over. Once I started travelling, I never wanted to stop. I'm currently a Peace Corps volunteer, living in a town south of Marrakech in Morocco. I teach aerobics, cooking, art, and Spanish, and spend most of my days visiting families in town and doing DIY projects in my house.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is something I've always wanted to try. I made an account when I was 18, but never actually used it. Here I am, 20-some countries later, and I've still never couchsurfed. I love the idea, and I think now's the perfect time to try it out!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched, with hands cupped over my ears to pick up the rustling of their wings, as millions of bats flew overhead at sunset in Khao Yai, Thailand. Breathtaking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make scrap tile necklaces (I just did a handicraft workshop with a women's cooperative here). Don't know how to French braid? I'm your girl. I used to be a swimming instructor, so I can throw that on the list too. English, art, how to use InDesign, some basic Moroccan cooking... you name it! I'd love to meet some interesting people and learn more about the places that they're from.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you Moroccan Arabic, or maybe bring you something fun from the medina!
