Originally I'm from Boston, Massachusetts- a fast paced city filled with amazing food, colonial history and unique people. As soon as I could, I left home to attend college in Chicago and then moved again to work in the TV/Film business in Los Angeles...I then quit my job to travel the world! I'm currently teaching kids in a rural village of Thailand and have never been happier!

What I Can Share with Hosts

English is my native language and I always love to talk with people looking to brush up in their skills. I also have plenty of stories to share and a keen sense of humor. I'm pretty handy too, so I can help out with anything around your home! (I use to be a plumber🛠)

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, Canada, Myanmar, Thailand, Viet Nam
