CURRENT MISSION

Travel, adventure and living life

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly, easy going and energetic person. I am a teacher of many subjects. I have taught biology in an university, English in a foreign country and yoga. I have also taught Developmentally Disabled Adults basic living skills. Somehow it's a natural fit for me. I have lived in Taiwan for 15 months then traveled through Asia and Europe for about 4 months. I came back to the US to visit family and friends. I spent 8 months in Mexico and Central America. I also had nice trip to Colombia. Traveling helps me grow and I learn so much from the different people I meet and cultures I experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is not a race but a journey to be savored each step of the way. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I'm living in the right situation, I will gladly host those who have hosted me and those in need of a place to stay. For now, I am just a surfer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done it a few times and it has been great. It's a great way to learn about a new place.

Interests

I like to travel, read, explore the unknown and meet new people. I enjoy nature: gardening, hiking and camping. I love yoga and it's principles. Cooking and savoring different foods are great.
