International School teacher living in Nonthaburi, Thailand.. I am from Ohio, USA but have been here for over 2 years. I came as a volunteer in the Peace Corps and have decided to stay near Bangkok to have new experiences. I have a degree in painting, love all forms of art and frequently visit galleries within the city (especially BACC). On my free time, I love reading, painting, and exploring new places. I am a lover of animals, a swimmer, and a video gamer. I still love cartoons and love board games and playing cards. I need to listen to music everyday or I'll go crazy! For now, I am staying in Thailand for an indefinite period of time becauseI hope to travel and meet new and interesting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This was recommended to me by a friend. It seems like an interesting way to meet new people and discover different cultures.

Left America.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I feel I have a great understanding of Thai culture and I am always excited to share neat experiences and the beautiful things that make this country so amazing. I feel that many people come here and never have a chance to truly appreciate what Thailand has to offer because there is just so much you can do. Touristy areas have their appeal but I've been to areas that are usually overlooked and have so much to offer!
