I'm a musician at heart and by trade. I love to play, compose/write, and to teach.
After teaching high school for seven years, I took a step back to get my Master's and Doctorate Degrees - I'm nearly finished with my doctoral studies, then I plan to go on to teaching at the university level.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to travel to Europe to extend my study and academic experience. While in Europe, I plan to travel about to take in different opportunities, and finding ways to save on the expense of traveling will make the trip much more feasible.
