One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have swam in the Carribean Sea and gone jungle Trekking with monkeys in Panama. I dropped everything back home to come follow my dreams of seeing the World, beginning with Thailand. That's three amazing things!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you take me into your home. you will be showered with love and gratitude in various forms. Do you enjoy banana pancakes? I'm your girl! Perhaps you need a Cheeseburger, (the dish of my people!) I will gladly prepare these things and more for you if you have a kitchen that permits such. You may find poems, drawings, and/or origami hidden in corners of your home as tokens of my affection. I also make dreamcatchers and friendship bracelets upon request. I am tidy and experienced in cleaning kitchens, bathrooms, floors, dishes, and myself. I also do laundry (loads of it). Finally, I offer my friendship to those hosts who want it.
