CURRENT MISSION

Simply put: I love hosting people and showing them around. I want to learn about people from other walks of life.

ABOUT ME

I am very hospitable and enjoy listening to the stories of others. As a former World Cultures teacher (3rd and 4th grades) I love to learn about other cultures. I currently teach fourth grade (all subjects). Kind, enthusiastic and welcoming are words my friends might use to describe me.

PHILOSOPHY

Contribute to society by bringing people together for friendship, conversation and insightful discussion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly as a host. I have yet to travel and Couchsurf.

Interests

I am an organizer of an independent film viewing Meetup and a vegan dinner Meetup. I enjoy hosting friends and family at my house. I love my job as a 4th grade classroom teacher. I work out at the Y every other day, play guitar, enjoy vegan cooking and love riding my bike around Ann Arbor.
