I'm a very easy-going Minnesotan from the United States. My favorite place to go is somewhere I've never been.🌍

I come from a large, close-knit farm family who cannot figure out why I would ever want to leave the US! 😉 I love traveling to new countries, experiencing different lifestyles and learning new traditions/teaching about my own.

I recently finished a teaching contract in Malaysia and am off to my next destination!

*** NOTE: I am NOT interested in any romantic advances. Please save us both the awkwardness. ***

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel the world and meet the greatest people :)

Interests

I am crafty, creative and would never turn down an opportunity for something new and fun. I'm a social butterfly in all its glory. I love to meet people anywhere I go, of all backgrounds and ages, and I revel in different cultures. I'd consider myself energizing, inspiring and encouraging. I am motivated and clean (unless I can't decide what to wear 😬).

I will probably cook for you because it's a passion of mine, right behind fishing 🎣

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eaten hakarl (rotted/fermented Greenland shark) in Iceland and tuna eyeballs, sockets and brain in Maldives.

Must try...just don't be hungover when you do.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a native English speaker and am currently working on my Spanish fluency. I'm also a qualified ESL teacher!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll cook for you! Maybe you can show me how to make a local cuisine of yours. I'll make one from my hometown. Let's go fishing! I'd love to surf also, as I recently learned how.
