I'm a teacher. I've taught ballroom dance, English composition, English as a Second Language, administration of justice, college psychology, and more. I'm a life coach - I've worked with schizophrenics, the elderly, and the general population - on all kinds of issues - money, relationships, work, spirituality, depression, anxiety, etc. I'm a traveler - been to 35 countries so far, and still love learning about the world. And I'm a dancer (though have an injury) - have done African, tap, ballet, folk, jazz, modern, and taught ballroom.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love travel and meeting other travelers. Couch surfing has been a great way to meet and connect with like minded people. The experiences I've had so far have been wonderful - have made good connections - really enjoyed meeting and hanging out with them, and made some long term friends as well. .
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: 60s and 70s, folk and funk. Movies: Singing in the Rain, the Matrix, Forrest Gump, international films. Books: The Chosen, Yes Man, The Greatest Salesman in the World, Thought Field Therapy, and anything in the field of psychology.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I backpacked through West Africa. No restaurants, not even a store. I lived mainly on coconuts, met Jimmy Carter, saw dances of possession, and got malaria.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm a teacher (see above). I'm willing to share anything I've learned -especially life coaching, EFT (google it), ballroom dance. Curious about the world, and always learning.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I'm an experienced guest - clean, quiet, considerate, independent, and social. See above for sharing. Happy to cook or buy you dinner. I can offer you a dance lesson or a coaching session as well.
My Interests
I like hot yoga, nature, and dance. I love learning of all kinds, but especially things related to personal or spiritual growth. I have traveled to 35 countries so far (lived in 3).
