I am a substitute teacher and restaurant server here in Hollister, CA. I spend my time gardening, sewing, and hanging out with my dog, Rex.
My boyfriend and I will be traveling around Europe in April 2024 via the Eurail train pass. I'd like to see what a local person would experience on a day to day basis in the city we are visiting, where you shop, where you eat, where you go to relax, where you buy your morning coffee and learn about your customs and traditions. We can hang out and play cards or go out and explore the site's. I'd like to make lifelong friends who hopefully, one day, I'll be able to host.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'd like to visit places and see things from a local's perspective and learn how people really live and what cool things to do there that aren't just the tourist traps. And make some lifelong friends while I'm at it!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Last summer, I took a 2 week long road trip with just me and my dog. We visited 10 states together and drove almost 5000 miles.

教，学，和分享

I have taught ceramics and art at a small shop in Campbell, CA. I am currently a long-term substitute teacher at my local high school teaching geometry and algebra 2. I love to talk about geometry, physics, calculus, and other nerdy stuff.
My mom has her own upholstery business so I've been around sewing machines my entire life. I know quite a lot about sewing, quilting and embroidery. I could teach you how to mend clothes or embroider.
I have a degree in photography so I could give some pointers about that or give an honest critique.

I can teach you anything that I know, I'm always happy to answer any questions.
