About Me

I am a laid back open minded person that is passionate about the things I believe. I love to travel, cook, read and write. I have traveled trough Europe, Egypt, India and parts of Asia. Life is all about stories and I want as many as I can get.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to name one:

-Jumped out of a plane at 14,000 feet on my birthday.
-Rode a camel around the Pyramids and Sphinx in Giza.
-Watched a body being burned on the ghats of the Ganges River in Varanasi, India.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am filled with TONS of usless information. I remember the most random facts (even though I still walk into the kitchen and forget why I went in there). I love discussing and sharing information on anything from Life and the Universe to why they call it a building when it already built.

Im sure there is a lot I can teach someone and vice versa.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook. I work in a Barbecue restaurant so I can make an authentic American meal (and I don't mean hamburgers haha). I'm kind of a neat freak so I don't mind helping to clean up the house.
