I'm a Peace Corps volunteer from the US living in Timor-Leste. I'm working in community development, so most of my job is building relationships with people here. Overall, my life is pretty relaxed. Most days you can find me hanging out by the pool (which we do have here!) or with a book and a cup of tea. Come say hello!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I'll be travelling a lot in Southeast Asia for the next few years. I love meeting new people and want to experience more than just the touristy bits of the places I visit. Plus I'm living on a volunteer budget!

Timor-Leste doesn't get a huge number of tourists, but I always enjoy showing people around my town. Happy to host women, but it would be culturally inappropriate to invite any men to stay with me.
