CURRENT MISSION

Visit every country in the world. Improve my German. Be happy.

ABOUT ME

After traveling and learning for a few years, I have finally decided to settle down. Just obtained my Master's in Environmental Sciences, and hoping to have a positive effect on habitat and wildlife in California. I am a lover of anything green, and all animals. Not so much a partier anymore, but I'm happy to share a beer or a bottle of wine every once in a while. I'm happy to help out around the house, weather cooking or cleaning. Just starting out as a professional isn't all that lucrative, but I'm excited to meet more people in the area I'm looking to settle down in. That's not exactly "all" about me, but I would love to talk more if we meet :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I picked up and moved to Germany all by myself. That was pretty amazing for me, I was quite out of my element and comfort zone, but I did it. That's where I met my husband, and got my Masters degree.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach someone how to dance. how to find some constellations and their story. i can juggle. i can teach you how to cook some really good banana bread. I can also help grow food
I love sharing stories, and goals. I like talking about movies and music, as they are two of my favorite things in the world, also life experiences, and funny travel stories
I want to learn German. Over the years it's gotten better, but there's always room for improvement. I've always wanted to learn how to play the drums :) I really like learning the history of places, and meeting people from there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help cook, clean, share stories. I would love to pick up a 6 pack or bottle of wine to share.
