Currently I live amongst the hills of southern West Virginia. I have lived in Maryland, Alaska, and Amsterdam. During the school year I teach 8th grade science and spend as much time outside as possible. During the summers... well... you know what teachers do in the summers... TRAVEL!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to travel with my boyfriend for the summer (he is also a teacher). We may start hosting if we love the community! We are first timers at this!
