Taught 8th Grade Math in New York, love adventuring and exploring new places. Spontaneously left the states to backpack around the world- motorcycled through Indonesia, cycled from Singapore to Bangkok, volunteered as a medic and teacher in Nepal, then worked on a cacao-conservation project in Amsterdam and Brasil!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see the world so I can meet new people, discover new places, have incredible adventures, and return to education all the wiser for the experience I gain seeing how the rest of the world works. My means are limited and I'm real low maintenance, so Couchsurfing seems to be the way to go.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Transformed a cacao farm in the middle of Brasil to produce a high quality cacao and learned Portuguese along the way!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an incredibly open and positive person. Lead with kindness and a smile, and things tend to work out. Good peoples, good company, good food, good life. I want to try something new and learn something new every day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Super low maintenance, always down to help cook or bake or clean, you got my back, I got yours. Also down to do any language exchange, or teach you paddleboarding!
