I've traveled throughout Latin America and love meeting new people and cultures. Some of my favorite places include the Dominican Republic (where I now live!), Brazil, and of course - good old Ohio.

I'm an English Speaking Coach for IT professionals, which is a fancy way of saying an online teacher/entrepreneur.

I'm happily married, so please, no dating messages 😅

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet friends and get to know the actual locals and culture of the place where I am traveling. I'm not a fan of hostels. Instead, I prefer to know the authentic culture and people of the country I am in (which is why Couchsurfing is so cool!).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While traveling in Chile, I was able to follow around a Chilean gold miner for his entire day of work. We entered the mine, extracted some rocks, worked on some machines, and sold 3 grams of gold at the end of the day!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning and teaching languages. I like to share as much as I can and believe that sharing, whether that's an afternoon, a conversation, or even a map, makes the world a better place!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want to get to know the people I am staying with and become friends with them. I can teach people English or Spanish (maybe some Portuguese, haha), about life in the DR/US, and why I am where I am right now. I'm a friendly, kind person just looking to meet local people while I am traveling!
