Hey guys! I'm a seasoned world-traveler who comes from the heart of the United States. I'm a professional dancer who's spent the last year performing and teaching across Europe and Asia, and I love meeting new people and learning from/exchanging with new friends. I'm a professional teacher and decent in the kitchen, so it's been a tradition of mine to offer dance lessons or a meal to each host I stay with along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love hip hop, soul, house, r&b, and all sorts of independent music. My favorite book has always been and will always be The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I completed a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, walking hundreds of miles across the northern part of Spain.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I do a style of street dance that's still pretty rare outside of the U.S. called Chicago Footwork. For anyone looking to improve their skills on the dance floor or want to have more fun dancing to modern music, I'm an experienced teacher and love to break things down. I'm also a fan of sharing music with other people who are looking to discover new artists. If all else fails, I love to cook when I can, and make some pretty tasty Thai curry that I love to share.
