English teacher living in Chiang Rai, Thailand. I love traveling and swapping stories, and prefer low key local activities over touristy hot spots.

My career consisted mostly of speaking with people, and I find that deep conversations revitalize me and seek out like minded people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer to see cities from a local's perspective. I only have a limited time in each country and it really helps to meet someone who knows the secret hangouts.

I enjoy meeting new people and finding out what makes them tick: why do you love traveling? Where is your favorite place? Where do you want to go to next?

Interests

Live music, deep conversations, wandering around back alleys.
