ABOUT ME

I discovered a true passion for travelling while studying abroad in the Netherlands for a semester. During that time I was able to visit many countries and meet people from all over world. After that, I made it a personal goal to see as much of the world as possible.

So...having just graduated from college, instead of settling down and finding a job, I decided to teach English in Turkey for three months and travel in Europe afterwards.

I just moved to Charlotte about a month ago for a new job. I'm really enjoying the city so far and would love to begin hosting.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what makes you happy. It's as simple as that.
