I'm a 30 yr old from America. I grew up in sunny Florida, moved to the big apple New York City after college and lived there for 6 years as a nanny. I've spent most of my career working with children of every age. I'm currently in Japan teaching English. I am looking to explore and bounce around for awhile. I am eager to meet new people, make new friends, and explore new cities. I love cooking, eating, and basically anything that involves food. I've also been a huge video game fan since I was a kid, if you are too that's a huge plus. I'm very laid back and open to most anything, and of course follow any set rules the host has included. I look forward to talking with the couchsurfing community!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
