After 25 years in corporate jobs, I decided to quite my job and become a teacher overseas. I lived in China and Brazil for 7.5 years before moving back to the U.S. in December, 2024.

I love to travel and have been to 60 countries. I enjoy learning local cultures by wandering streets, local markets and hiking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing could be a great way to meet locals and learn more about a local town.
