CURRENT MISSION

To travel, meet as many interesting people as possible, and enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

I'm a Chicago-native living in San Diego. I have been teaching students who are blind or visually impaired for almost 14 years now. I'm also learning how to speak Greek.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to join CS after my first solo trip to Greece in June, 2014. I was lucky enough to meet many many locals (not thru Couchsurfing) while I was out and about. They showed me such wonderful hospitality that I thought I should pay it forward and do the same for others traveling to the states. :)
If you're just looking for a free place to stay...I'm probably not the host for you. I have been very fortunate to make friends all over the world hosting thru CS.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: anything really. Except country. Yuck.

Movies: I love a good comedy.

Books: Right now I'm in the middle of reading a few different Lonely Planet guides for my upcoming travels. I'm also reading First They Killed My Father.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived at 2 schools for the blind.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach braille! :)

I also love showing people around San Diego! I think I've missed my calling in hospitality.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not looking for hosts at this time. But I can offer travelers advice on where to go in San Diego. I love being a tour guide. :) I also have great advice for anyone traveling to Chicago as its my hometown.
