I am a second grade special education teacher living and working in Brooklyn. I love traveling and have spent 7 months in South East Asia, over a year in Israel and about a month in South America. I come from a family of 6 kids and love being surrounded by people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I grew up in a home that always had a revolving door of guests. My room was often offered of to any passing wanderer and I've learned the value of hosting. I also love to travel and have used couchsurfing around the world to meet new people, interact with the real local people of the countries and learn more than you can from shacking up in a hostel.

Interests

I love to teach and learn and hopefully inspire a couple people here and there through education. I love cooking and trying new foods.
