Ready for the next chapter! I'm embarking on a trip across the United States, Canada and Mexico for the next several months, looking to connect with people along the way. I think you might find me easy going, positive, real, and gracious.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I am going on a journey for a few months around the United States. I'll be hoping in my car and driving to every curious place I can find in the United States.

I've got friends I'll be meeting up with along the way, but I'm hoping to find some new friends in new cities as well.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Organized an event with city planners where 200 inner city teenagers had direct, creative input into the vision and master plan for the city of Trenton, NJ.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I teach martial arts (Hap Ki Do and Tae Kwon Do) and tutor teens in college preparation. I also love to cook and make music. Let's create something together?

I would love to learn more about rock climbing, camping/hiking, photography, food and drink, cooking, Spanish, and you and your town!

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I can teach you martial arts/self defense. I can help you improve your English (if it's your second language). I can enjoy or critique your poems or creative writing. I can teach your teen about getting into college. I can converse about social issues. I can cook you an awesome vegetarian meal. I will be sensitive to your needs and respectful of your space. I won't be creepy. I will leave the place neat and tidy.
