Overview
About Me
I'm a creative-type working in a career field that I don't love, and looking to make positive changes in my life. I want to experience other languages and cultures and get to know people from far-away places! (And close places, too).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I haven't traveled nearly as much as I would like to, but you have to start somewhere, right? I joined Couchsurfing to meet new people and in particular, to be able to experience new places like a local. Every place, whether it's a tiny town or a huge city, has a few gems that only the locals know about - THOSE are the places I want to see! I've already seen A LOT of the United States; now I'm looking to go abroad.
I'm also hoping to find places to stay abroad and, as soon as I have a larger apartment, to be able to host folks in my home.

Teach, Learn, Share
