About Me

I've always had a desire to travel. I love learning about the history and culture of places, best done through meeting people and sharing experiences. After graduating from college I had the opportunity to serve as a volunteer in the Peace Corps, where I lived for two years in Albania. It was an amazing experience where I met incredible people. It also provided me with the opportunity to travel around the Balkans and a bit. In addition to this, I have traveled to Europe and countries in North and South America.

I love to travel and to meet new people. I am a laid back person with a dry sense of humor. I am an open minded person, not easily offended, and always open to new experiences.
