I think the most valuable part of humankind is our stories. They are our strongest teaching tools, and the foundation for our relationships with both others and ourselves.

So, let's make stories together :)

I'm flexible, easy-going, and quick to laugh! I've spent the past two years teaching English in Japan, and am an English teacher now in America! I love learning about different cultures and want to learn as much as I can.

I hope to meet you someday!

Teach, Learn, Share

My dreams are to live on every continent (I will teach English to penguins at some point in my life), learn every day, figure out how to roll my r's, go hang gliding, and give as much happiness as I get

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you how to sound like an owl and make a cobra out of your hands! As well as three not-so-impressive card tricks.
