CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I love learning about other cultures either through travel or through meeting people from different backgrounds who visit the US or come to live in this country. I am a good listener. I like to share what makes my area special with other people. I also enjoy working with children.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn from one another.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I heard great things from a friend who has surfed in many places around the world. I have met such interesting people both from the US and from many countries around the world. I have enjoyed their company and in some instances have had the opportunity for them to guide me around their hometown. This is a wonderful way to exchange ideas with people from a variety of backgrounds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
