ABOUT ME

We absolutely love traveling. We are currently working in a small pueblo in Spain as ESL teachers and travel every chance we get!

PHILOSOPHY

I love educating people about anything and being educated about anything. I try and tear down walls of indifference and apathy that I see in others as well as myself. I believe giving is better than receiving, although both are good when done with the right heart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took an 8 month round the world trip between 2010 and 2011 and loved it!
visited 29 states (12.8%)Create your own visited map of The World or another interesting project

Teach, Learn, Share

The Massai tribal people in the heart of Kenya are the most generous people you will ever meet.
Amsterdam is a really cool city, one that should be visited at least once in a lifetime.
I'd love to learn how to cook authentic meals from couchsurfers' home cultures when they come to stay with me.
