I'm a high school English teacher with a passion for wandering around new places. When not wrestling sharks or winning "America's Next Top Model", I also enjoy drinking coffee, sipping a good beer, and riding my bike.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think travel should be accessible (and affordable) to anyone, regardless of wealth. It's also nice to enter cities with a human connection.
