Hello! I am an ESL teacher teaching in Beijing, China. I grew up in Boston, MA and went to UMass Amherst for my Food Science degree. I will be traveling throughout California this summer 2018 and hope to meet amazing people on the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As an open-minded traveler who has lived long-term in a couple of countries at the age of 23, I have friended many from around the world whose culture and language are different than mine. I love to meet new people and make new connections because ultimately, I believe we are all the same beautiful humans! Another reason why I'm on Couchsurfing because I love the idea of traveling without worrying about spending too much money.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching because I have the power to introduce amazing things to my students. I do not feel superior and hold onto the knowledge I have, I share them and in return, I gained so much more.
