I'm a recent college graduate who works remotely part-time and travels the rest of the time. I grew up in Texas, but now live and work from Paris. I'm pretty friendly and outgoing, and I love learning about other people. I could talk to someone new for hours, but I also need my time alone and am always down to chill out quietly. I'm pretty clean, I like to cook, and I'm always happy to help out however I can!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived with a host family in the biggest slum in Africa for three weeks.
Traveled around Iceland in a rental car for 5 days during the winter - briefly glimpsed the northern lights!

Teach, Learn, Share

My greatest passion is collecting information that's only mildly useful, but if you give me a story or a problem I probably have a random fact that I read or heard somewhere that will relate to it. I tell stories with so many details you'll feel like you were there, and I'm the best audience for bad jokes (I laugh easily).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Most of my teachable skills come in groups of four... And most of my trips don't last longer than four days.. So maybe you get one a day? I can find a grand total of four constellations at all times, I know approximately four chords on the guitar (and I sing a little, but mostly in the shower), and I've got about four solid family recipes down by heart (I'm Mexican and French, so homemade crepes, tarts, carne guisada, and tortillas are on the menu). I also know a wide variety of swear words in English and French and am happy to share.
