Hello, my name is L.E. and I just moved to Santa Fe, NM. I work at an art gallery and am interested in art, history, music, culture, beer, dogs, books, and exploring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just moved into a lovely house in Santa Fe and want to give back to the couchsurfing community! I've had nothing but good experiences while couchsurfing in other countries, and now that I'm finally settled in a new place in a new city I'd be happy to host whoever needs a place for a few nights.
Currently I'm on hiatus hosting guests!! I need a bit of a break to be alone in my new place.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an English tutor and have worked with ESL students for many years! If you need any help with English, feel free to ask. I can also teach you to cook some delicious Mexican or Turkish cuisine .
I would like to learn more about the history, art, music, and culture of everywhere I travel. I want to learn as much as I can from my experiences travelling so if we meet, I will listen to anything you want to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very considerate, respectful, and friendly. I would love to share stories and a drink with whomever is willing to be a friend or help me out while I am traveling. I always clean up after myself wherever I stay. I have much to offer in that I can cook, clean, interpretive dance, sing off key, and more!
