ABOUT ME

I am originally from Southern California but spent my University years in Boston. After my studies, I was fortunate enough to work with an NGO focused on facilitating a sense of peace within small communities in Bosnia. After a month of teaching English and helping to renovate a historic library, I returned to California with world travel on my mind. It would take another two years before I could travel oversees again, however the interim time was well spent as a behavioral therapist for children with autism. In early May 2010, I left home to join the United States Peace Corps in Romania. Over the past two years I have been living in a small village in the middle of Romania as an English teacher, exploring and traveling within the country and the region. Now that my initial contract has been completed, I have moved to the capital for a change of scenery and occupation. Although I am new to the city I hope to explore it over the next year and play host and tour guide to interested CS’ers. Travel well and numai bine- only well.

PHILOSOPHY

Experience, assess, learn, grow... Rinse and repeat

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Free tours, suggestions on where to stay and what to do in the area, and once I have an established place, perhaps a couch to sleep on

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have toured and stayed with some awesome CS'ers. So far, I've met great people with unique and interesting life stories. The personal and local insights in new cities can't be beat.
