A world traveler, lover of the outdoors and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm headed down from Sacramento, California for a teacher training in July https://alcmosaic.org/alf-summer-2018/.

I will be gone all day each day. I mostly need a place to crash. I am happy to sleep on the floor. I am low maintenance, easygoing and always up for good conversation. I have many stories to share from my many travels. http://www.edumodels.ca/blog/adventures-in-roadschooling-spencer-babcock
