ABOUT ME

I'm an ESL teacher and I love my job! Meeting people from all over the world and helping others is what makes me the happiest.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, open and value relationships more and more each day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've seen some interesting "couches" and some great surfers too and the beauty of CS when not traveling is meeting people that are. I love to open up my house when I can and enjoy the excitement of meeting hosts while traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met loners and drifters, thinkers and givers and they all seem to teach me something new and fantastic.

Interests

I'm interested in meeting people, making art and music, drinking coffee and cooking breakfast, dancing all night, riding bikes, speaking Spanish, watching birds, making jokes, taking (Holga) photos, drinking lots and laughing loud.
