I’m in love with vast beautiful landscapes and feel it down to my core. Sometimes I wish my eyes could drink some of the beauty I've seen.

I travel to stay present and open my mind to the world. I love a good culture shock!

I’m a high school art teacher and love inspiring others to make, explore, enjoy, and just be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is my biggest passion. Learning about new places and experiencing new things fuels my soul. I'm excited to make friends from all over the world and have more authentic experiences with locals. I'm a life long learner and would love to soak up as many experiences as I can.

Music, Movies, and Books

These are the most recent bands I've listened to :
The Lumineers, Glass Animals, Hozier, The Black Keys, The Shins, RJD2, Of Monsters and Men, Langhorn Slim, Dr. Dog, The Avett Brothers, Sia, Fleet Foxes, Milky Chance, Fkj & Masego

I'm open to all genres and listening to new things.

Movies: I love a good comedy. If it’s not engaging enough I will probably fall asleep.

Books: about to start The Nature Fix. I’m more of a nonfiction kind of gall.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked in wilderness therapy in the smokey mountains. Taking at risk youth backcountry backpacking year round was one of the most amazing experiences I've had so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share stories, learn about you, and I'm not quite sure what I want to teach, I do that on the daily as a high school art teacher I think I need a break ;)
