About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, Love, and Learn

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be so damn serious!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am excited to report that I finally found a dog friendly home in the lower haight. It is a great little neighborhood with lots of fun things to do and see. The only downside to my place is that there is no living room and therefore no couch. sad.

I just began teaching 3rd grade so my life as a first year teacher has just begun. Crazy. I love it but it means I really can only hang out on the weekends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

all good things

Interests

I like...
picnics,
hiking,
national talk like a pirate day,
swimming in lakes,
drinking mimosas on the beach,
playing with my dog,
curling up with a good book,
salsa dancing,
dancing to old earth wind and fire records all alone, lip singing,
learning new things,
sparkly scarves,
people who give good hugs,
visiting new places,
sunday fun day with my friend Katie,
getting lost and calling it an adventure,
teaching kids new things,
learning from children,
inspirational posters on the walls of elementary classrooms,
learning about cultures around the world,
roadtrips,
more picnics,
whiskey on the rocks (but not during a roadtrip),
art museums,
and so much more...
