Hi all! Like many of us from the US who are traveling, I quit my job and am now traveling the world for 7 months before moving to Australia in April. I worked in HR and employment law doing all sorts of wicked things for my company like immigration while I was there. I have a mother and a brother (who currently also lives abroad as well) and travel seems genetic for us. I love getting involved and putting action behind my passions. Hope I have the chance to get to know you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm really hoping to meet some great people and get to understand the places I'm visiting better through the people who call them home.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love sci fi and distopian books and movies, and for as a bright of a person as I find myself to be, my music choices always seem to be melancholy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent the last year back home volunteering with immigrants and refugees, teaching them English, Citizenship, and helped ease them into the US culture.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm currently learning Russian, and have some Spanish I'd love to develop.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, of course. I also pride myself in staying up to date with current events, and always love a good discussion.
