About Me

I love to travel and learn about local cultures. My family and I have been travelling full time since 2016. We like to stay out of the tourist zones and meet local people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet locals and travellers who are part of the online sharing community. I feel that everyone has something to contribute.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music, from rock to electronic. I read fiction and non-fiction. I like personal growth, finance, biographies, and spy novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I like physical challenges, especially hiking and running. I've done triathlons, adventure races, multi-day hikes and multi-day bike races. Ask me about an epic whitewater rafting trip in Costa Rica!

Teach, Learn, Share

My family and I have a lot of experience with language meetups. I am an ESL teacher and I am very good at having beginner level conversations in English. I can also show you how to cook amazing healthy meals from around the world!
