I have recently moved to Toms River, NJ (about a 10 minute drive to Seaside Heights). Great area to visit and close to NYC, Philadelphia, and Atlantic City.

I love adventure, trying new things, and meeting new people. I thrive on culture. History nerd (and teacher), bookworm, and amateur chef (I love to cook and eat).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first couchsurfed in 2011 and had a great experience. My host took me to some really neat places that I would have never found on my own. Couchsurfing is a great way to immerse yourself into a culture, meet new people, and learn new things.

I took a break from couchsurfing for a while but now I am back and looking to get the most out of it!
