CURRENT MISSION
To learn about various cultures and histories; to laugh and stay in the present. To do yoga and stay healthy.

ABOUT ME
I enjoy learning the nuances of other cultures. I prefer not to be a tourist, but get to know the history of the people. I was certified to teach ESL (English as a Second Language) in 2011.

PHILOSOPHY
Live and let live. Be responsible and do no harm. I strive to be eco-friendly. Be present (so no drugs). We're all connected...if you do well, I do well and vice versa.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed on multiple couches and it has worked great 90% of the time. Unfortunately I haven't been able to host yet, have been working long hours when I've had requests to use my couch.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

There's very little under our control! I like to share and hang with down-to-earth people, those who have been through rough times and are humble.

Traveling stories about Quito and Istanbul. Spiritual journeys. Flying stories. Information about the culture and cities of North and South Carolina.
