I'm a former student/bartender turned teacher. I'm a little shy and introverted, but I want to see and experience as much as I can, and I want like minded people to share my time with. I loved being a bartender, and after my time teaching is done, hope to go back to it, because I get to be with people, and see their lives. Its fascinating and an immensely satisfying job for me, because I always learn something new about people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, share experiences and, most importantly, explore little corners of the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteered in Uganda and built a playground for a school in a remote village, while there I went White Water Rafting on the most dangerous rapids in the world (and I can't swim).

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about new cultures and sharing stories of the cultures I've experienced. There is nothing truer than sharing a drink with somebody (preferably red wine) and exchanging what makes our lives unique and the beautiful things we have been fortunate to experience.
