I am an adventurer from the Chicagoland area in the USA. I started my travels last January, beginning with backpacking through India, then exploring Thailand for a while, and eventually living in Vietnam for about 6 months teaching English. Now, I am on the move again and will spend the next month traveling around Europe. I love connecting with different people, exploring diverse cultures and and learning through experiences. I want to live life to the fullest and have a good time with friends, old and new :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love different kinds of music and listen to a lot of it. Some of my favorite artists are Bonobo, Greensky Bluegrass, Dirtwire, Random Rab, Billy Joel, Lauryn Hill, The Doors, Fleetwood Mac, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and Sylvan Esso...just to name a few. For books, currently I am reading Shantaram and I am so into it! It is quickly becoming my new favorite book. I love movies. It's difficult to choose a favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Packed up my life and moved halfway across the USA to live and work on a goat milking farm in the mountains of California.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an English teacher and I am happy to help with teaching English while couchsurfing. I want to immerse myself in culture. Any exchange of positive energy and cool skills would be awesome.
