ABOUT ME

I'm an out-going person and love meeting new people! Traveling is one of my many passions as I've given up the rat race life in America to come work at NGOs overseas. I believe in having a good time with people from all walks of life : )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've both hosted and couchsurf'd before

Interests

The more I travel, the more I'm becoming infatuated with the history and culture of a place. I'd rather not feel like a tourist when I"m visiting places, so finding locals are on the top of my list. When I'm not lesson planning for my students, I like to venture out and also maintain my website for my friends and family back home.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I'm a certified TEFL teacher so I definitely would be willing to help with new words if someone needed them. I enjoy exchanging this gift with students and wouldn't mind doing the same for you. Cultural differences are one of my favorite things to learn about a new place ! So let's swap some as you show me around your beautiful country : )
