ABOUT ME

i graduated from boston university in 2012 and then spent a year teaching english abroad. came back for a year to teach middle school in boston and now i live in washington, dc and work in international development.

i'm very curious and get excited by little things. i'm quite open and love meeting new people. i'm quite independent during the day when i travel, but i love couchsurfing for providing me with people that know a lot of the local spots to eat & dance.
