I'm a high school math teacher in San Francisco. I just started this past year, (2016) and feel more love for math and teaching each day I can work with young people and help them build new realities for them and me. I love to cook and cook pretty much every night, so if I'm visiting, I'm happy to cook for you. Beyond that, I love new experiences and long walks on the beach with white stallions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

clearly, get at that free life, baby. plus, hosting people is fun, and nanjing can be kinda lonely sometimes, so it helps stave that off.
