When I'm not in Kentucky, I'm living in Albania, where I teach art at an international school, negotiate taxi rides through the mountains and enjoy taking at least an hour to sip a single shot of espresso.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After spending two years in the Balkans, I've learned that local hosts offer the best insight on their location.

Interests

Mastering visual and verbal communication through a variety of media. Climbing mountains. Making fudge. Brainstorming how to incorporate fudge making into sustainable community development.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've high-fived Lebron James. I've also rubbed shoulders with Michael Phelps (actually it was more like my shoulder, his elbow).

What I Can Share with Hosts

How to successfully make just about any bread from scratch, how to plan a trip through the Balkans, and/or how to fold an origami menagerie.
