About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Plan the next adventure!

ABOUT ME

I'd hope that friends would say that I'm kind, friendly, and open to new experiences. I love traveling and big part of that is meeting new people and experiencing all that the culture offers. I live with my husband, Gary. Everybody loves him, and I can pretty much guarantee that you will as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We've had great experiences meeting people from all over the world. I love working and travelling abroad, and hosting when I can gives a similar reward.

Interests

Traveling, photography, yoga, running, hiking, movies, intelligent conversation, good food and good wine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My top travel memory is riding around Angkor Wat on a ratty old bike, feeling completely free, at ease, but overcome by the beauty of it all.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach ESL, and have a couple of other part time gigs. I have Masters in International Education and Development. I have a background in analog photography (and a BFA), so I'd be happy to share what I know. I've been meaning to learn to sew for years. I even have a sewing machine that I don't know how to work. I'd also love to refresh my French.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We have one cat (sorry allergic friends).
