CURRENT MISSION

explore, learn + wonder more

ABOUT ME

Born in Wisconsin but moved around a bit (Florida, Colorado, New York). I'm currently teaching in Prague and travel every chance I get. I love to spend the weekend exploring the city, using my new roller blades and relaxing with friends and good wine :)

PHILOSOPHY

When you create peace and balance in your mind you will find it in your life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm quite new to couch surfing. Hostels can be great while traveling but I'm curious to meet people in their home, their environment, hear their experiences. Can't wait to get started!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gave up corporate life in NYC to teach in the Czech Republic.

Teach, Learn, Share

My Czech is not great but I can teach you the basics: hello, goodbye, thank you (there are about 6 ways to do this!) and how to order a beer. All very important things.

Yoga is my stress reliever. I can walk you through the basics and nothing feels better than a good stretch after spending the days walking on cobblestones!

Cards! I spent many cold winters, and nice summers, in Wisconsin perfecting my skills: Euchere, Hearts, Sheepshead, Nerts (my favorite!), Canasta, Egyptian war.
