About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Wide eyed culture seeker.

ABOUT ME

Hello Prospective Host!

I am a high school teacher from LA who loves meeting new people and exploring foreign lands.
After a long school year, I am hungry for new challenges and learning opportunities. I am generally thought of as friendly and respectful with a sense of humor. Having studied cultural anthropology as an undergrad, I value learning about other cultures. Though I am an American by birth, both my parents are immigrants from different Spanish speaking countries (Spain/Mexico). I myself am fluent in Spanish. I am not afraid of manual labor and find it very satisfying. Natural settings are my church. If you have any questions please feel free to email me. I look forward to potentially meeting you.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy, not unlike myself, is a work in progress. But I am partial to living in gratitude.
