I'm an ESL teacher originally from LA. I've also lived in Massachusetts, New York state and the south of France. I studied history and writing (prose writing and screenwriting). I also love comedy, philosophy, music, gardening and dogs.

I'm actually kind of patriotic, in an alternative way (like, a Bernie Sanders kind of way). I love people's history of the US, and frontier history. If you're into it, I'd like to talk about your roots. Or, we can just chill :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a very open person, and thrive when meeting new people. My favorite part of being an ESL teacher is connecting with people from all over the world! I think CS offers the same type of opportunity, except now, it's allowing me to connect with people from my own country.
