I’m 25, I’m enchanted by our world and I’m trying to see as much of it as I can. Most of my work experience has been with humanitarian organizations, but I am currently working as a nanny in Paris. I’m chill, I’m kind, I live for adventure, and I get along with just about everyone.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music with some soul to it, and I love storytellers like Jim Croce, Bob Dylan, Fleet Foxes. As for books, right now I’m reading Kurt Vonnegut’s “Mother Night”. I think he’s brilliant. My favorite novel is “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” by Milan Kundera. It’s hauntingly beautiful. I’m also forcing my way through “Why Nations Fail”, which is a fascinating account of the entwinement of economics and politics, but it’s not exactly a page turner.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked with orangutans in Borneo for 6 months with a conservation and rehabilitation program. One fancied me, and another bit me on the leg, I still have a scar.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a certified ESL teacher if you’d like to practice your English.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m a hell of a storyteller. And I always come bearing drink. I love making friends all over the world and keeping in touch through social media. I’d love to repay the favour one day.
