CURRENT MISSION

To write, read, and be good to the people I meet.

ABOUT ME

I'm a secondary English teacher. Most recently I was teaching in Singapore (3 years). I was traveling and working in New Zealand for the past year, an absolute dream of mine, and cannot wait for my next adventure: Spain!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I completed a solo cross-country USA road trip in the autumn of 2010. I couchsurfed with many awesome people over those few months who absolutely made my trip. In Thailand I met up with CSers in different cities, didn't use much in Singapore, but hoping to get back into the community.
