CURRENT MISSION

Be a decent human

ABOUT ME

Studied business and German in college, taught English in South Korea for two years, now working at a small non-profit and figuring out how I can merge my career goals and travel.

Please don't send me messages just saying something like, "Hi, how's it going?" That creeps me out and I won't respond. If you're offering to host, let me know and tell me a bit about yourself!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm all about the loyalty: my friends are amazing, caring people, who are well-grounded, and loving. I love enriching relationships that change me as a person. My friends and family are my personal treasure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to travel, meet new people, I then blog about my experience/ share stories with my students in hopes of inspiring other individuals to open their minds to cultural understanding.
