Hi there!

I'm a friendly, outgoing, intensely curious and always down for an adventure;whether that's sport climbing a new route, exploring a new city, learning a new skill or hitchhiking in a foreign country.

I'm splitting the next year between traveling internationally and living in my van while I work as a freelance designer and marketer.

I enjoy physical and mental challenges, passionate discussions, live music and new experiences.

If I'm hosted by you can expect a home cooked meal and dessert from my repertoire of recipes and good conversation :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking is my favorite way to share stories, ideas, music and learn about each other. I've got some killer recipes from Thailand and Italy up my sleeve and, if you've got a sweet tooth, I'll make you my guinea pig for the latest dessert.

If you want to talk entrepreneurship, design, business, marketing or websites I've got experience in all of those I'm happy to share. I can hold a conversation in French and Spanish as well
