I'm a Peace Corps volunteer living and working in Senegal, West Africa. I'm not an out of this world talker, but love listening to people with stories to tell. I have a strange obsession with beets (the vegetable) and a not so strange obsession with climbing. I love travel, kind-hearted people, and good stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of connecting to people and welcoming new people into our lives to share with them what we have to give.
