About Me

I am currently gearing up to return to Nanjing, China to work as an educator in an English training center.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking to host once I get settled into my apartment!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ideally, my host would be kind and willing to spend a little time getting to know me. I am very courteous and am willing to help with cooking and chores in exchange for a place to stay. I would love to have a host that is interested in my culture as well as sharing their own unique perspective.

Interests

Reading, cooking, French, traveling, exercising, and anything outdoorsy.

  • wildlife
  • culture
  • cooking
  • exercise
  • reading
  • traveling
  • camping
  • teaching

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Kill Bill Volumes 1&2, American Psycho, Pulp Fiction, and Shawshank Redemption.
Music: The Strokes, The Eagles, Zac Brown Band, Kenny Chesney, Avicci, Pink Floyd, The Smashing Pumpkins, Kings of Leon, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stromae, The Avett Brothers, Umphrey's Mcgee, and many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably one of the most formative experiences of my life was spending two weeks in the Alaskan Bush. Camping in bear country showed me that wildlife and humanity truly could coexist. It also helped kindle my life long passion for traveling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a native English speaker and would be more than happy to teach or help someone with their English. French is my second language and I would love the opportunity to practice with a native French speaker.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A smile and maybe some fajitas =)
