ABOUT ME

After teaching English in Mexico for seven years (and 1 year at home in Colorado to hang out with the family) it was time to explore other countries. During my travels in Spain and Portugal, I unexpectedly found a job in a hostel for the time being. It is wonderful being able to show the guests around, having laughs, and sharing travel stories.

PHILOSOPHY

“The heart has reasons that reason does not understand.” - Jacques Benigne Bossuel
I am learning to live my life allowing my heart to express itself without questioning the reasons.

I backpacked from Chiapas to Cozumel. I met so many amazing and wonderful people, and saw beatiful lakes, cenotes and waterfalls.

And I walked from Lagos to the beach of Portimou (Praia de Rocha), very beatiful country.

Teach, Learn, Share

I just learned to not rush a process. Time is unlimited.
