CURRENT MISSION

live deeply

ABOUT ME

I'm a teacher who used to spend every non-working moment traveling. My husband and I had a baby in Jan 2012. My husband is also in med school. We lived in St Maarten during his basic sciences and are now back in the states for the rest of his med school training. We love to travel, have new experiences and meet new people. I love nature and the outdoors. I love walking and visiting farmers markets. I love to write and read.

PHILOSOPHY

"You rarely have time for everything you want in this life, so you need to make choices. And hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are. "

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are in transitions right now, but I would love to host once we settle down later this year.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only ever been to a couch surfing party in Rome. That was very cool. I have heard many great things, and am excited to get some actual experience.
