I'm a teacher from Washington, DC, USA, happily using my summer vacation time to travel overseas. I don't smoke, but I do drink sometimes (I don't care whether my hosts do either one).

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I would like to have a more authentic traveling experience. While I will certainly do some "touristy" things, I want to learn about an area from the people who live there. Bonus points if you can point out some hidden gems of your city that other travelers might miss :)

兴趣

I love to hike, try new food, and go to concerts. I'm working on trying more "extreme" sports and unique activities.

音乐、电影和书籍

I'm interested in all sorts of music, from rap to country to EDM, and would love to learn about some new music from my host(s). However, my favorites are the Cure, Blink-182, and the Smiths.
Being a teacher, I have little time to read for fun during the school year, but when I do, I like to read non-fiction and Stephen King books (my favorites are The Shining and 11/22/63).

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I make really good "French" (read: heavily Americanized) toast and cornbread. I'm hoping to also be able to share some good travel stories by the end of the summer… :)
