I am moved, humbled, excited, and most of all grateful for what Couchsurfing provides. The beautiful experiences, people, and places that have been a part of my life due to CS are truly special, and they reaffirm my belief in and love for travel, reaching out to people, learning, and making this a world where we are connected.

I've been privileged to interact with a pretty wide range of people due to volunteer work, jobs, travel, studies, and life in general. My favorite jobs have been teaching languages, coaching tennis, acting, and playing the piano.

In general, I think I have a pretty flexible personality. While I can be intense and focused, I also love incorporating humor as much as possible into life. At times, I enjoy large gatherings of people, but I also like speaking with people one on one. I'm organized, but I also value spontaneity. I'm sometimes a leader and sometimes deferential to others. I absolutely love big cities, but I also appreciate nature and tranquility.
