ABOUT ME

I am obsessed with traveling and seem to always be surrounded by international friends, music, and food. Also, I studied International Studies in college and now with at the International Rescue Committee, a refugee resettlement agency. I always seem to be planning my next big adventure and can spend countless hours in front of my map staring at the world-full of options for me to explore!

Right now I have two roommates who are not too keen on the idea, but I am always down for getting a coffee or a beer with someone :-)

I have hosted a few times, all of which were absolutely wonderful experiences!
