Former Spanish teacher on a career break since June 2021. I don’t really have a plan for the next steps but I find my time has been well-spent traveling. I suppose, you could say that’s the plan for now.

I’ve been an avid traveler for more than a decade. Things started with a year as a foreign exchange student to Germany. Since then, I enjoy chasing the exploring somewhere new and then settling in to call it home for a while. I’ve dabbled with different ways to travel and find the variety exciting.

I’m grateful for the chance to learn, to explore, or whatever way we can cross paths and brighten our journey/travels. (Hopefully this last bit isn’t too cliché.)

Music, Movies, and Books

The last book I could not put down was “To Shake The Sleeping Self” by Jedidiah Jenkins. 👏🏻

My movies and music interests are about a decade behind. I’d appreciate some pointers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My university graduation gift to myself was my first skydiving experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can be helpful with technology or language practice (native English speaker).

Learn: I’m excited to learn about the local area, history, and what is fun to explore and experience. That’s the excitement of being somewhere new!

Share: Time + experiences = memories. At the end of the day, those matter the most in my opinion. Let’s share some.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Culture and language exchange. I’m happy to help out around the house and/or organize some icebreaker activities.
