CURRENT MISSION

To settle into Chiang Mai

ABOUT ME

Currently at home, living with Mom. Will be back on the road in February taking on South America!
Besides teaching I am a volleyball player, a writer- check out my blog http://thethaichronicles.wordpress.com, speak a bit of Spanish, can make a mean guacamole, and love singing karaoke.

PHILOSOPHY

Delight your senses. Open you heart. Frazzle your mind. Exceed your expectations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first couch surfed with my best friend back in 2012. Together we made our way through Colombia and fell in love with the people. The generosity and energy that we found there was unmatched. What helped make our experience was the people that we met through couch surfing, the stories that they told us, and the fresh perspective that they gave us on their cities.

Interests

I have a weakness for cupcakes, sarcasm, gyros, markets, and anyone with an adventurous soul. I'm not the biggest fan of sunsets, squatter toilets, or strawberries.
