One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being at the top of Mt. Haleakala (Maui, HI) was breathtaking--I had never seen so many stars! And I lost count of the number of shooting stars I saw.

Living in Paris for a month was fabulous. A bartender there told me I look like Josephine Baker, and I just about died.

Teach, Learn, Share

Vegan cooking! (Vegan=no animal ingredients) I am a good cook/baker and would love to share my skills. Also, I have a degree in English and would be happy to be a tutor. I want to learn Spanish, German, French, and Arabic, but right now I am focusing on Spanish. I've lived in Mexico and visit there 2-3x per year.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a low-maintenance, independent, respectful houseguest with a good attitude and adventurous spirit!

Canada, Denmark, France, Mexico, Morocco, Spain, United States
