One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teaching not one but TWO of my all time favorite subjects at a bilingual private K-12 in Cuenca Ecuador. Teaching Art and Philosophy gave me a one of a kind opportunity to challenge myself in both of those areas, grow, learn, and share in ways I cannot fully express using the English language

Teach, Learn, Share

KC has a little of something for everyone, I can help you find what you’re looking for 🙃

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have been told that I ask a lot of questions! I love to get to know people and figure out their personality. I also share other important things besides conversation like beer, chocolate, or other delicious food stuff :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru
