ABOUT ME

I am a high school chemistry teacher; it's the perfect job for me where I can introduce students to my favorite subject! I love making friends and meeting new people. I enjoy cooking, walking, hiking, reading, and kayaking. I like learning new things (for example, I'm currently learning how to play tennis). I consider myself independent; I would like to believe that I can do almost anything with enough thought, determination, and effort.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm excited to host and surf - it's a great way to meet new people, have fun, and see new places!

Interests

I like to spend my free time cooking, reading, walking, and small-scale gardening. I also enjoy hiking, kayaking, and biking. And I like spending time with my dog Ralphie.
