I moved down to New Orleans to go to Tulane. I fell in love with the music, food, architecture, art scene, and quirkiness of the city and ended up living there for 7 years, working in pr/marketing.

Traveling is my favorite thing. I have been lucky enough to travel to 5/7 continents (all but Australia and Antarctica)! I love meeting people with diverse backgrounds. I consider myself to be open-minded, outgoing, adaptable, and adventurous.

This year I roadtripped solo to Asheville, NC and Austin, TX, and also traveled to Portland, Oregon for the first time. My next big dreams are to do a roadtrip tour of the U.S. national parks, to farm hop in Hawaii, and/or eventually, to live in a Japan.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I studied abroad in Cape Town, South Africa. My favorite parts were backpacking the Garden Route and the Wild Coast, and going to festivals in the mountains with friends.

When I graduated, I flew to Thailand and spent 6 weeks backpacking/hostel-hopping, meeting people from all over the world and realizing how empowering solo travel is.

I recently spent two months living in a tent and doing work-trade at Omega Institute in upstate New York. During this time I learned about holistic living, spirituality, and about how to live in true community.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

Gratitude. Music and book recommendations. Buddhist philosophy. A couch to sleep on in New Orleans! I am a tidy, quiet, and easy-going guest (except I'm highly allergic to cats!!) Happy to help out with tasks around the house.
