I grew up in Ohio, attended college in Pittsburgh, and served in Ukraine in Peace Corps. I met my husband while in Ukraine and we settled down in the Midwest. Currently, I am a teacher outside of Omaha, NE.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Davidson and I love to travel and we have found that the experience is better when we stay with a local that can guide us to the best things to see and do. Couchsurfing is really a personal experience that allows you to get to know someone from another city/town/country/culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I served in Peace Corps in Ukraine and while there I was afforded the opportunity to travel all over the globe. I've climbed mountains, slept in caves, watched the sun rise over Mt Sinai.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am still new to the Omaha area, so showing people around helps me see the sights as well. Currently we have a zoo pass, so that’s a fun thing to do.
