About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel to a new country every year and make new friends.

ABOUT ME

I like to write, listen to music, my work with students, dancing, 80's music, concerts, classic rock, and I like understanding and learning about current political issues. I am concerned with the evironment and all things food related. I like to eat healthy food!

PHILOSOPHY

I think we should live happier, healthier lives, but not at the expense of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I signed up a loooooonng time ago. I didn't host anyone because after I signed up, I realized that the bathroom situation was a bit impossible at my old apartment. I have since moved and the floor plan is better for accommodating guests. I also have a pull out sofa now! Yeah!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Prior to me signing up for CouchSurfing, I went along with my friend and CouchSurfed in Culican, Sinaloa. It was an amazing experience. The family welcomed us into their home and showed us all around their city. They were amazing. I am still friends with them to this day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing experience of all my travels, was when I lived in Guanjuato, Mexico. I met so many people from all over the world. I hope to one day be able to live in different countries for a time.

Teach, Learn, Share
