About Me

American English teacher, recently moved to the Southern Moravian region of the Czech Republic. I enjoy hiking, skiing, cooking, art, concerts, reading, and experiencing new things! Easy-going, respectful, and fun. Love dessert, craft beer, and all things food-related

I studied philosophy and psychology in university, and have worked as a journalist, fishmonger, barista, and wine seller in the U.S.
