I was born and raised in Seattle, WA. I have lived in California, Oregon and Hawaii. I come from a large family (29 first cousins on my mother's side) I love to visit my cousins on Flathead Lake, Montana. So much fun during the summer!
I am a middle school math teacher and assistant high school girls basketball coach.
I'm an avid seasonal reader. I enjoy hanging out with friends and family, learning about new things, and traveling!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
