I somehow survived graduate school, stumbled out of it and jumped on a plane to Incheon with the Fulbright Program. After two marvelous years teaching at an all girls high school, I am moving ahead full force with my life and onto new pastures. One of my hobbies is traveling and learning about the different cultures of the world. My most recent trip has been to Nepal, where I learned about Buddhism, the different cultural groups, and trade between Nepal/Tibet/India/China.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am looking to meet interesting people and expand my understanding of different areas. I believe travel is essential to opening one's worldview-- but it is the relationships with locals and people you meet that truly shape how you grow during your trip. I want to grow and help others grow, so here I am!
