Hi! I'm a Hoosier (native of Indiana, USA) living in Bordeaux as an English language teaching assistant.

I love travel for all of the usual reasons -- I love adventure, people are beautiful and interesting, the planet is beautiful and interesting, and I just want to learn and experience as much as possible while I'm here on earth!! (though I'm also open to couch surfing on other planets).

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

I love to see the place I'm visiting through the eyes of a local!!! I also love to connect with people from all over the world and gain a sense of global community.
