I'm a teacher. I've taught ballroom dance, English composition, English as a Second Language, administration of justice, college psychology, and more. I'm a life coach - I've worked with schizophrenics, the elderly, and the general population - on all kinds of issues - money, relationships, work, spirituality, depression, anxiety, etc. I'm a traveler - been to 35 countries so far, and still love learning about the world. And I'm a dancer (though have an injury) - have done African, tap, ballet, folk, jazz, modern, and taught ballroom.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travel and meeting other travelers. Couch surfing has been a great way to meet and connect with like minded people. The experiences I've had so far have been wonderful - have made good connections - really enjoyed meeting and hanging out with them, and made some long term friends as well. .

Interests

I like hot yoga, nature, and dance. I love learning of all kinds, but especially things related to personal or spiritual growth. I have traveled to 35 countries so far (lived in 3).
