CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to explore Southeast Asia and eventually start a life here as an English teacher! (Oh yeah, and to conquer the world, of course).

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly, adventurous, and adaptable person with a playful spirit and good sense of humor. I recently parted with most of my earthly possessions in order to start a new life in Asia as an English teacher. Prior to this decision, I lived in Phoenix for 5 years while completing my Master's degree and in San Diego, CA for 6 years prior to that. I can't wait to see what life has in store next!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is full of amazing opportunities and beautiful people - seize every moment you can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently looking for couch surfing opportunities, but I look forward to when I will have my own place again so I can host surfers, too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a new couch surfer, but a dear friend/former roommate is very active couch surfer, so we had a few guests while I lived with her. It was wonderful to meet new people and share in their journeys.

Interests

I love going to the beach, swimming, going to concerts, yoga, reading, hiking, biking, karaoke, cooking, and taking pictures.
