One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Explored the magical history of Rome, drank a Guinness in Dublin, living in Germany, backpacked Europe solo in 2017, cliff jumped in Capri, Italy, saw Harry Potter the Cursed Child play & met the cast in London, and much more! Exponentially grateful for life and the gift of travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share my passion for refugee resettlement. I love to discuss politics and “controversial” topics as people are passionate about such things and it’s always an interesting time. There’s so much for me to learn and I learn mostly through travel and meeting new people with different perspectives. I especially love learning about other religions and cultural traditions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A candid, fun-loving friend, good conversation, a drinking game or two, and book recommendations.
