ABOUT ME

I'm an English teacher, and my husband is a tour guide at Chichen Itza here in the Yucatan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the concept, being part of the sharing economy. We had our first CSing experience last summer in Washington D.C., and we couldn't have enjoyed it more. We have hosted several CSers in our home through our daughter's account (and now, through ours too). She CSed through Europe last fall.
