About Me

I am an avid traveler who loves new cultures. meeting different people, trying new foods and foreign experiences and learning from others. My cousin (and best friend) will be traveling together. I am a high school teacher, and he is a long time manager for Kroger. We are both very clean, respectful, open-minded. and kind. I am a seasoned traveler, but I am helping him become one! We are so excited to be traveling together this winter of 2018! We are both single; he is gay and I am straight.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience as many places and people as possible. I love every couchsurfing experience I've had. I believe in promoting and supporting fellow travelers and lifetime learners. I also enjoy couchsurfing for the authentic experiences it offers. It's also a great way to make new friends and grow in mindset! I have couchsurfed abroad, but with someone who has their own account, thus the reason I do not yet have any references!
