I'm from the Heartland of the United States. I find myself in a position to get away for a bit, and I'm taking advantage of it. I think you'll find that I'm a respectful, clean, and generally quiet guest. I'm almost always interested in conversation, but I can also be very independent. I have many interests, but I always (happily) return to pretty typical stuff: reading, spending time outside, and sharing coffee or other beverages with friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've got some plans to travel and maybe study abroad, and I'd be happy to meet new people along the way. I'm also trying to learn to practice mindfulness. If you have experience in yoga or meditation, I'd be interested in hearing about it.

The National
Hemingway

Teach, Learn, Share

If you'd like to improve your English, I have a lot of tutoring experience and I'd be happy to help!
