CURRENT MISSION:
Travel.

I love to meet new, interesting people and hear their story. I consider myself to be open minded. I haven't heard or seen it all, but I want to!

#1 thing I've learned from the couchsurfing community so far:
Being poor doesn't mean you don't have anything to offer others; what little you have, or the things you have that seem simple or meaningless, can actually mean a whole lot to people.

#1 thing I learned in college:
Life's most satisfying moments occur when you come to the realization that you've been able to use your own blessings, gifts, and talents to make someone else's life better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just wanna meet unique people and see life through their perspective. I can’t always do the typical tourist thing; the more authentic the better. I want to know the real experiences of someone that lives in the country or city I’m visiting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I actually am a teacher! I love learning psychological aspects of teaching and Education. But we can talk about that boring stuff in person!

When I'm abroad, I love learning words from other languages. I can recall spending hours with children trying to learn Hindi and Spanish.
