Part time badass. Full time Nature.

My name is Grant. I'm a 19 year old engineering student at Duke University with a predisposition for spontaneous adventures and cultural exchange. I believe the best way to learn about yourself is through connecting with a diverse assortment of people, each with their own unique story.

I grew up in South Florida but also have a house out in Asheville and I'd love for new friends to visit when I'm in town.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I spent the last 2 months teaching English in the Quang Trį province of Vietnam. I loved the pace of life there and the generosity everyone showed to their neighbors. I crashed several weddings and they just kept giving me beer and food. My students were also amazing and really passionate about learning English. I can't wait to go back and visit.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I make a killer guacamole and will make some if requested.

I do really good impressions of popular film characters and past presidents.

I have travelled extensively and love to talk about my experiences.

I can teach Mandarin Chinese and English.
