I am a college student from the United States of America out in Europe for a year abroad. My first semester brought me to the wonderful city of Helsinki, Finland and my second semester will be set in the coastal city of Santander, Spain. Whenever I can, I'm trying to explore more of this great world.

Teach, Learn, Share

What more can a person share than his/her experiences and knowledge? My knowledge is a blend of weird trivia knowledge on a variety of academic topics combined with more in-depth understanding of mathematics/statistics. My experiences included almsot 20 years of living and traveling through the USA, combined with my recent forays into the great continent of Europe.
I'm always down for language exchange--my knowledge may be limited but my curiosity is unbounded!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Respect, humility, joy, and hopefully a bit of humor as well.
