About Me

Originally from Las Vegas. Currently teaching English in South Korea.

Passionate dancer, enthusiastic cook, adrenaline junky, and lover of all things outdoors

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently on a mission to dance all over the world!

Interests

Social/ Parner Dancing- Ballroom, Salsa, Swing, Argentine Tango, Blues Dancing
Just about ANYTHING outdoors thrills me: kayaking, hiking, beaches, white water rafting, skydiving, exploring caves, wildlife
Asian food- anything that is served on the end of a chopstick, I want in my mouth!
Cirque Du Soleil- Living in Vegas, I'd been very lucky to have 8 permanent shows in town, and I always check out the traveling Cirque Du Soleil shows when they pass through
LOVE the social aspect of cooking together and eating together! Also, just FYI, I sing in the kitchen
