ABOUT ME

Never stepped foot on a plane until 19 yrs old.

Never left country until 30 yrs old

Have made up for lost time.

Feel most alive when not in the states and when surround by non-natives.

Hospitality is in my blood as is my passion to explore the world and it's cultures.

Am happiest when flying, swimming or snowboarding.

I do quite well with those who English is a second language. Having taught abroad I understand and communicate well across cultures. I also know some American Sign Language.
