I'm a high school teacher, in NZ on a Fulbright Distinguished Award in Teaching. That means I get 6 months to learn about education in Aotearoa. I enjoy reading good books, checking out artsy spaces around the city, eating food at the farmer's market, and hiking/running/mountainbiking/snowshoeing/skiing/camping, etc

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met cool people, both as a host and being hosted.

Interests

Public education reform.
Getting outside.
Analyzing how history gets taught.
People who manage to figure themselves out despite a society that that tells them otherwise.
Eating edemame, strawberries, and chocolate ice cream as much as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

Right now I'm listening to Being Mortal by Atul Gawande. Fun (depressing) stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess the most interesting thing was getting lost while hiking along the Great Wall and having to be rescued in a boat full of dead fish. If you wanna know, ask. :)
