CURRENT MISSION

To make the most of every moment, situation, and opportunity

ABOUT ME

I graduated from the University of Arizona,l with a bachelors in economics, sociology, and French. Upon graduation, I moved and worked in Lille, France, where I taught English. I’ve worked mostly in k-12 education specializing in secondary mathematics for the past 10 years. Currently, I’m a private calculus and physics instructor for a family that lives 50/50 in Greece and Thailand.

PHILOSOPHY

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony"
-Mahatma Gandhi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've couch surfed quite a bit now, and not always through the couch surfing site. Hosting is limited to my living situation at the time, but if I'm available, I'd love to have guests.

Interests

I've always enjoyed reading, playing basketball, golf, and baseball/softball. Watching movies, and going out every once in a while, of course. I also love riding bikes, and just walking around and exploring places I've never been. As of lately, I've reignited my passion for playing guitar, and even more recently just bought a ukulele. So I do love to play and sing as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking to Brussels, New Year's Party in London, and living in an italian villa definitely top my list, but I'm still looking for more of those moments that will leave me awestruck

Teach, Learn, Share

If I'm going to be traveling then I couldn't think of anything better to learn than other languages and how to cook different types of food. I have a lot of experience with tutoring and am always willing to help in whatever way I can.
