ABOUT ME

I am definitely a native to the Seattle area- I love coffee shops, reading, the great outdoors, music, politics, hybrid cars and dogs. I'm friendly and outgoing most of the time (unless I'm tired!). I enjoy meeting new people and going to new places and also enjoy time in solitude or silence (the best place for that would be on top of a mountain!).

PHILOSOPHY

Dive into both the pain and joys of life, understanding that I cannot have one without the other . . . I think when we can genuinely appreciate other people and communities for who and what they are as a whole, it allows us to experience joy in sharing life together.

Interests

sports, travelling, cultures and live music. Pretty much anything outside- hiking, climbing, skiing, swimming, backpacking are what I like to do when weather permits. I love the little things in life- like the raindrop on a flower, the dimple on a friend's face that only show up when they're trying not to smile:)

Teach, Learn, Share

Answering questions about the United States, explaining American idioms, or even teaching you how to swim like a professional (one of my favorite things to teach) are some things that I might be able to help you with. . . Right now I'm really excited to learn from other people rather than always being the one teaching so I'm open to pretty much everything.
