I am from a small town in central Texas. I received my BA in History of warfare from Texas A and M. I studied abroad in Krakow, Poland at the Jagellonian Univserity studying the Holocaust. I lived and taught English in Mexico City for three years. I then moved to Vietnam for two years living in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). I lived in The Netherlands for one year where I completed my MA in Holocaust and Genocide Studies from the University of Amsterdam. I will begin my Ph.D in the summer of 2019.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people and listen to their stories. And to help out fellow travels when they need a place to stay as others have so welcomed me.
