Overview
About Me
I'm interested in meeting people and offering a way for others to explore Northeast Wisconsin and experience our beer- and cheese-loving culture. On the flip side, I too am interested in traveling more, in a way that doesn't break the bank. I'm particularly interested in meeting people who speak French, and also traveling to areas where French is spoken. I am at an intermediate level, and want to eventually become fluent.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsurfing because traveling and staying in hotels is expensive. I want to be able to help people out and also develop relationship with others so that I can afford to explore new places and have new experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books
My music library runs the gamut. I listen to pretty much everything except country music. I love alternative music, and my favorite bands right now are Alt-J and Glass Animals. I watch more TV shows than movies, and am watching The Walking Dead, West World, and American Horror Story religiously right now. For books, I prefer sci-fi and fantasy books. I read to relax and to escape to other worlds as a mini mental vacation. I also read textbooks, but that's because I'm a professor and it's my job :)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I'm having a hard time coming up with an amazing thing I've done. My life is pretty tame. It's not boring, but I wouldn't say it's full of amazing, extraordinary things. That's part of the reason I'm on here, to open myself up to opportunities that allow me to start doing amazing things.
Teach, Learn, Share
I teach, learn, and share everyday as an art professor. I teach graphic design courses, and focus on working with Photoshop, page layout, digital illustration, branding, and marketing.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share a warm, welcoming, and clean home to hosts in a safe, upper-middle class neighborhood.
Countries I’ve Visited
Bahamas, Canada, France, Mexico, Saint Martin (French part)
