ABOUT ME
I love good food, great adventures, live music and most of all my friends and family. Finished university in Washington, D.C. last spring, then moved to Dunkerque, France to teach English. I had some wonderful adventures during my Europe chapter and excited for the next one.
I am back in the States for the summer, and in September I will be heading to Benin in West Africa to work on a research grant. Currently couchless but hoping to host in Benin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Tie for most remarkable places I have been:
1. A jungle-filled canyon in the mountains of northern Guinea.
2. The hillsides of Amasra on Turkey's Black Sea Coast.
Go to these places, you won't regret it! And ask me about them, I can talk forever!
