I am a 32-year-old English and Spanish teacher, living in the suburbs of Washington DC. I grew up in Utah. I live with my girlfriend/partner and an old tomcat. I enjoy cooking, eating, reading, writing and playing music, trail running, farming, swimming in cold water, riding my bike.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm looking to travel cheaply and meet new people. I feel like my life is more fulfilling when meeting interesting strangers, even if those encounters don't always turn into lifelong friendships.
