CURRENT MISSION

Meet NEW PEOPLE! There are NO foreigners in NE Tennessee! Please relieve me!

ABOUT ME

I need to have international interaction!! Not enough world culture in east TN. Lived in Germany 6 yrs.; met my husband there, travelled around Europe, HK, China, Cameroon. LOVED IT! LOVE foreigners - not boring. I'm an ESL teacher to be more international - looking to move out of country again later. love traveling, dancing, talking (business, politics, environment, art, music, culture, religion). wanted to do "Amazing Race" but hubby isn't American. Love God, people, social interaction.

PHILOSOPHY

Tactful, open communication will help ALL situations. I don't have much use for people who won't/don't talk. How can I get to know someone or learn about him/her without them saying something? We want people to know that the world is not a bad place, so we opened our home to foster teenagers (now adopted and moved out).

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

no experience yet. I'd like to travel in Europe in summer for 3 weeks, so I'll be looking...

兴趣

not heavy partier, but like music, dancing, karaoke, backpacking, hiking. very practical, social, environmental, health-conscious (tree hugger disguised as teacher). We're both active in the local Arts Council, bringing culture to Rogersville. I brought 43 foreign exchange students to area for the summer. love learning about other cultures and visiting their countries how they live. We both always try to learn new things. ALWAYS. We LOVE playing strategic games (cards or board)
