Hi everyone!

I'm new to the couch surfing community, but have heard great things and am looking forward to trying it out! I've been a teacher for the past 11 years of my life, but I'm currently exploring other options career-wise and am taking a couple of years off from work to travel and learn about myself and the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn about a community from a local's perspective - to make new friends who are interested in adventure and exploration. I believe life is about being happy - and for me, that means having new experiences in the world, spending time with family and friends, being active physically and mentally and laughing... a lot.
