I teach English online, and travel as much as I can. I have a 14-year-old daughter who sometimes travels with me. I own a small home in Kansas, which I share with a wonderful international roommate and my daughter. This year I hope to see a lot of Europe, and host some people in Kansas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel as much as possible and meet new friends while abroad. Couchsurfing means I can stay longer, interact with locals, and get to know more of the culture and off-the-beaten-track sights.
