I am a special education teacher taking a sabbatical to recharge after over 10 years in public education. I've been traveling more or less since November 2023. I started out road-tripping and living in my car/camping all over the US and left my country in February 2024.

I love being outside, dancing, hiking, biking, reading, songwriting, and creating in all forms. I would like to drink tea with you and talk for hours.

I’ve been to 44 US states, walked across several and biked across a few too :) I’ve lived around SE Michigan, New Orleans, Oregon, and now my stuff lives in Ohio while I am traveling.

I’m not using couchsurfing to date or hook up! Please don’t host me with that intention.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To connect with people across the world and learn more about the places I travel. So far, it has been an amazing experience and I look forward to hosting once I have a place of my own again.

音乐、电影和书籍

I am almost always listening to or making music. I think sharing music is one of the greatest gifts we can give each other. I am traveling with a little red ukulele and love taking requests. Maybe I can learn your favorite song and we can sing together🥰

What I’ve been listening to lately:
Hurray for the Riff Raff, Tracy Chapman, Big Thief, boy genius, Andrew Bird, Thao, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabine McCalla, zero 7, handmade moments, Amy Winehouse, Ted Hawkins, Blaze Foley, Jenny Lewis, Gillian Welch, Grateful Dead

I'm trying to read a book from every place I travel and would love your recommendations. I prefer fiction.

My favorite authors lately: Barbara Kingsolver, Mary Oliver, Colson Whitehead, Louise Erdrich, Alice Munro, Toni Morrison, Madeline Miller, Annie Dillard, Ann Patchett, Alice Hoffman, and Aldo Leopold

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I’ve seen and identified over 700 different species of birds since 2020!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I play many instruments and love to sing. I’m good with children. I teach yoga and would happily share my practice with you. I’ve traveled the US extensively and can give advice on traveling there, especially where to find the beautiful nature and camp for free.
