I taught English as a Second Language for many years and hope to return to it one day soon! I've taught in Ulsan, South Korea; Beijing, China; Gold Coast, Australia and Los Angeles, California. I currently live in Portland, Oregon in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. with my Aussie husband, our 5-year-old son and dog.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my child-free days, I hosted couch surfers when I was a teacher living in China and South Korea. Now, I'm hoping to do some couch surfing with my family as we travel around Europe! I loved hosting people and sharing with them all the great things to see, do and eat in that particular city.
