Currently living and teaching in Thailand. About me as a person, like to be outside and doing things. Generally want everyone to get along and have fun. I think it's nearly impossible to talk with someone and not find something you like about them. Love life and think it's beautiful, even with all the ups and downs. Love hearing other people's stories. Love nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think meeting people is one of the greatest parts of traveling and I'd like to do more of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Deep Water Solo in Krabi!!! Exploring caves and lagoons and mountains... Also I've eaten lots of bugs

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm if you'd like to practice English, or just have a conversation in general. I studied English Literature and could talk about it for hours. Love to talk about writing and books.

I'm learning the ukulele right now but I'm very terrible! When I'm better, I'll update this section

What I Can Share with Hosts

Always happy to have a conversation with you! And I can cook breakfast :) (I can help with other cooking, but my strength is in breakfast food).

Also very clean and don't mind helping out a bit around the house.
