I'm a teacher in Cincinnati, OH, United States. I participated in both hosting and staying with couchsurfers in the past with my ex-partner, but I've made this profile now that we're not together. I'm very active and always on the move. Some things I spend a lot of time doing are going to the rock climbing gym, bicycling, running, hiking, contra dancing, playing guitar, and reading.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet some travelers coming through Cincinnati. I've lived in Germany, New Zealand and South Korea and I miss interacting with international people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I just started playing guitar and I'm really excited to keep learning.

I've done lots of long distance hiking, so if you want to know how to pack for a week, a month or a few months in the mountains, I can tell you all about it. Places I've hiked include: the Rocky Mountains, Nepal, Africa, New Zealand, the Alps, etc.

I also just started a Java Script class that I am looking forward to continuing over the summer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make some pretty good Mexican food.

I can teach you some math (haha). No really, I'll teach you if you're interested.
