One Amazing Thing I've Done
Learned to speak German in a year. Volunteered at an orphanage in Haiti in 2012. Went stand-up paddle boarding in the Baltic Sea while observing jelly fish swimming beneath my board.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Good conversation from a warm hearted traveller. Show me somewhere you love and I will treasure it just the same.
My Interests
I love rock climbing. I started climbing while living in Germany and it became a passion of mine very quickly. I worked as a climbing instructor for a while and loved the atmosphere climbers provide. Acro yoga is another hobby I love! I studied Technical Theatre and Musical Performance in college. Theatre and music has been a very big part of my life.
