I live in Tam Kỳ and will be here for a year teaching English. I've been lucky to have been able to travel a lot! I spent the last year studying abroad in Nepal and Uganda, and I've worked in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and Argentina. I'm originally from California and my dad's family is all in Sweden, going to visit them for Christmas! Always love meeting new people and doing new things in crazy new places, try to live my life by not saying "no" to anything.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to travel in a new way and to meet real people! Always love hanging out with locals when I'm in a new place and hope that I'll be able to do some new and crazy things with cool people!

兴趣

I like to play water polo, ride bikes, and watch football (soccer). Manchester City supporter. Member of the Manchester City supporter's club in Washington, Nepal, and Argentina. Love going to matches of any team, hope to do so wherever I'm travelling!

Beer is always good, and one of the best parts of a new place is always a new type of beer. COFFEEE

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Conducted research in a refugee camp for a month in Uganda. Spent my time living with Somali and Congolese refugees and learning about how they farm and work and try to provide for themselves and their families. Truly incredible and perspective-changing experience.

Trekked to Everest Base Camp!

教，学，和分享

Always are trying to learn from those around me. I'm not sure if I have a lot to teach others but love to share experiences and stories!
