CURRENT MISSION

Be the change you want to see in the world :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a chronic traveler. I'm an English teacher from California, and I left home 8 years ago to see the world. Since then, I've lived in Indonesia and explored its mountains, jungles, and beaches. I'm embarking on a new adventure through South America. I'm hoping to meet locals and fellow travelers along the way. I'm an independent and curious traveler, and I love to meet new people and eat new food. I look forward to spontaneous experiences. There's no greater stimulation than the life of a nomad.

PHILOSOPHY

€œTwenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn'€™t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
- Mark Twain

Teach, Learn, Share

I've found no greater satisfaction than waking up to a life completely different from the one I was accustomed to at home. There's something addictive about living by what our heart desires and allowing ourselves to surrender to the unpredictability of life on the road.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am respectful, friendly, and open-minded.
