Polite and down to earth, I love to read, mediate, hike, eat vegetarian delicacies, and laugh! I've traveled a fair amount an have recently started to Couchsurf, so far I’ve stayed in Iceland and plan to visit Scotland through Couchsurfing soon! I've also been a host along with my partner through Airbnb, and though we are now traveling on our honeymoon I am excited to accept guests through Couchsurfing when we return to Massachusetts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My fiancé and I are both hardworking in fields that are not particularly lucrative. As an educators, activists, and social workers, we love to explore the world and learn but cannot afford to stay in hotels or even many hostels. As our honeymoon my wife and I are hoping to travel for as long as we can around Europe and Northern Africa not only for fun and romance but to learn about all kinds of activist work, educational models, mental health systems, and art cultures the world over! Letting us crash on your couch will help us make this dream come true!!
