Currently on a 1.5 year trip starting with the Pacific Northwest of the USA, then to Japan, Mongolia, South Korea, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Turkey, Italy, then back to the USA for a family visit.

I teach English online as my full time job which allows me to travel anywhere! As long as there is good wifi.. 😁

I was living on Catalina Island in California from 2012-2016. It's a small, little, beautiful place across the Pacific waters about an hour boat ride away from Long Beach. Born and raised mostly in Florida for 20+ years, a little time in Alabama, and a good chunk in Georgia, so I definitely have those southern roots in me. I have played and loved sports all my life. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions about what I'm up to!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited Thailand several times to see our friends in the central area of the country near Lomsak. We do sports camps in a very dear and special orphanage there and the kids and staff there are very amazing people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy helping people learn English if they are interested. I’ve been an ESL teacher for over 8 years so I can integrate that passion of mine with work. I can teach anyone how to play a few sports such as baseball, basketball, American football, etc. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've been around the world and love meeting new people from different cultures and backgrounds. It's a huge, vast world out there and we enter into those spaces by connecting with people who have come from places different than ours. Sharing our own unique and different stories is what makes humanity so rich.
