About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling, mostly in SE Asia

ABOUT ME

I just completed 2 years of Peace Corps volunteer service in Thailand. My husband and I lived in a small village in the Northeast working in education and youth development. Now we are traveling for a few months before returning to the U.S.

PHILOSOPHY

Seems to be constantly changing, but I do believe that everything happens when and how it is supposed to and that we are meant to continually learn and grow through all of our experiences and relationships.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to be able to connect with people throughout my travels, making experiences more enriching/genuine.

I hope to return the kindness by hosting others once I return to the U.S.
