ABOUT ME

I'm from the US and have lived all over and traveled 49 states. from 2009-2010 I lived in Antibes, France while teaching at a lycee. Normally I work as an attorney in the US but decided to take a break and see Europe. Now I live in Anchorage, Alaska with my partner practicing law and enjoying the wilderness!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think it's an amazing time to be alive! I have visited 49 states in the United States, which was a biproduct of being from a military family. I have visited the Mayan Ruins in the Yucatan, that was amazing, and Costa Rica, which was lovely and such fun. I have traveled around Europe quite a bit but only scratched the surface of that amazing continent. I want to see Asia because I'm pretty sure it will blow my mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, the law, how to pitch a tent and start a fire, and about any experiences from my life in which you might be interested.

I love to learn languages, new insights, new songs, about culture, food, places and people.

I can offer you my friendship, my enthusiasm, my openness, and my hospitality.
