Originally from the USA. Have lived a sort of nomadic life, and now living in the country of nomads. Currently working with a volunteer organization in Ulaanbaatar. Been here for a year+ and know the city fairly well. I enjoy food, music, film, literature, and connecting with others.

There are a number of cool bars, restaurants, and museums in the capital's vicinity. In summer, I have more availability throughout the day. Otherwise, only available to hang out in the evenings.

-Future travel plans-
Planning to travel to Japan in January for around 2 weeks.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an avid learner of languages. I am focusing mostly on improving my Chinese these days. I also have been learning calisthenics recently.

I have experience as a Spanish tutor, and I am a native English speaker. I can provide sufficient help with the study of these two languages. Guitar and poetry are my main creative outlets. Would always enjoy collaborating, sharing, and jamming with hosts or guests.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Let's chat about languages. I have learned a few by now.

Would love to cook and help prepare meals! I can show you some tasty American recipes which some people might look over.
