Hey there! I'm from St. Louis, Missouri but have taught English in Juarez, Mexico, Tennessee, and Cundinamarca, Colombia. Like most people on Couchsurfing, I love travel, any new adventure, my bike, and meeting new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The main reason I'm on Couchsurfing is because I hope to know the world we live in just a little better, not just by experiencing extraordinary sights and seeing new places, but by getting to know the people who live in it! I love learning about different cultures, worldviews, and languages and the best way to do that is through meeting real people. I hope to experience this both through hosting and as a guest!
