Hi! My name is Mike, I'm a music teacher in New Jersey who loves to travel and meet new people. I believe that relationships and experiences are the most important things in life. I'm new to couchsurfing and looking to travel and meet locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Summer Vacation from school. One of the great things about being a teacher is that I get my summers to work on professional development, see family, and travel this awesome world we live in!
