About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see all the wonders of the world, big or little.

ABOUT ME

I've grown up in a wonderful environment. I love the forest and the beach and the mountains that surrond my home. I have always been near wildlife such as bears, eagles and cougars.
I love to travel and experience new things while making friends seeing the wonderful world.
Now I live in the largest city in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was a couchsurfer when I travelled around Europe.
I hosted when I had my own place in Tokyo.
Now I'm in shared accommodations and have to wait to host again.

Interests

I am interested in trying new things. I have returned to school to be a teacher, so moments that I can share with my students and have them relate to and want to learn.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read almost anything. I prefer the fantasy genre and manga.
I'm not picky about music. I listen to anything so long as it has a good beat.
I like movies, but never seem to find time to watch any.
I do like to go see live theater.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've watched bats leave their cave for the night in numbers so great it looked like a black river in the sky.

Working in Belgium at an Archaeology dig, I work with bones and stone tools that were more than 130,000 years old.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love school and I am an avid learner. I may not have any specialized knowledge to teach, but what I know I am willing to share.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Bulgaria, Cook Islands, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, South Korea, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, Japan, Kuwait
