Currently travelling in the Balkans, since September before heading home to spend Christmas with my family. I am loving my time in these beautiful countries meeting fellow couchsurfers, travelers, and workawayers. After spending a month in Tirana, I am now planning to travel a bit of Montenegro, Croatia, and make my second trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina!

Along with travel, I enjoy meeting new people, cooking, and mixing up/enjoying new cocktails with great company.

I spent last year enjoying tapas and delicious wine working as an assistant English teacher in Madrid and worked in an environmental NGO in the US before that.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Indie-pop, acoustic tunes, and hip-hop.

Movies: Without a doubt my favorite movie is Step-Brothers. But I also enjoy most animated/Disney films and comedies.

Books: I am always in search of a good book, so feel free to make recommendations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first trip outside of the US was to Ireland as part of an orchestra. We spent 9 days playing at castles/various venues and exploring the southern part of the country from Limerick to Dublin. It was then, at the ripe age of 15 that the travel bug bit and I've been embracing it ever since.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always happy to help others practice their English or make a great meal.
