My family and I just moved back to the Midwest after living in rural Appalachia for a few years. I am an English professor and love smart conversations and kind people. We live in a very small apartment with a baby and several pets, so we're not able to host right now, but I'm usually game for meeting up for coffee.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I support the Couchsurfing philosophy, like meeting new and interesting people, and know that CS has helped friends travel the world on a limited budget.
