Grew up in San Francisco. Recently moved back to SF from living in Chicago the past 7 years.

Decided after many years working in the corporate world that I no longer enjoy what I do sp following my love for travel, I quit my job and moved to Prague. I recently took a four week intensive course and I am now a newly certified English teacher (CELTA). Yippee! Life is too short and it is never too late to start life anew so here is to a new chapter.

PHILOSOPHY

-To travel is to live.
-Everything happens for a reason.
-In the end we only regret the chances we didn't take

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to CS and am interested in meeting people from all over the world.

Interests

Enjoy beach volleyball, hiking, yoga, concerts, sporting events, and food! Itinerary usually evolves around food first before anything else. Love trying new things and will try anything at least once!
From all my travels, I'm slowly becoming a history buff. Seeing first hand rather than reading from a book or watching it on television is the best history lesson.

• concerts
• dining
• yoga
• traveling
• socializing
• fishing
• hiking
• rock climbing
• volleyball
• beaches

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kinds of music depending on what mood I am in. I like to listen anything from electronic to rock to old skool hip hop to even country music.
