I am (sadly!) no longer able to host regularly. I typically only host when my roommate is out of town and they don't leave for work as much these days.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most meaningful personal things I've done is care for my grandmother as she aged and transitioned out of independent living up until she passed in 2019.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love hearing life stories or travel stories and sharing some of mine! Would love to share recipes, get drinks, explore the area.

If you're visiting Vermont I can give you tips on fun spots to explore, get food, music, etc :)
