I am an American with an open heart and open mind. I have endless curiosity and I love discovering new things, meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. I believe that each human carries with them a library of experiences and that everyone has something of value to offer the world.

I have a degree in psychology, but I am working as an English teacher in Gran Canaria currently.

Aspiring green thumb 🌱

I love yoga, trying to cook canarian food, snorkeling, hiking, reading, and watercolor painting.
