ABOUT ME

I'm a college grad, having studied French and English. I love traveling! I love learning about other cultures and getting a personal experience.

After teaching, I decided I want a master's in School Counseling rather than getting a teacher's certification. I love working in the education sector.

I love hiking, swimming, bonfires and music. I think there's a lot of beauty in many things..which gets me in trouble when it comes to shopping...!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in learning about a country/ town's history and culture through knowing its people, not staying in a hotel by myself! Or, as a host, its just a fun experience to help those passing through who could use a free place to stay and a friend.
