About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a 28 year-old female, American and I like to think of myself as an optimistic, outgoing and friendly person! I love meeting new people and learning about new cultures and ways of life. I'm up for trying new things because I believe that's the only way to learn more about myself, the world I live in, and the people who share it with me. I am honest, laid back, and understanding. When it comes to work ethic, I am an incredibly hard worker and very happy to help others in anyway I can.

Interests

One of me favorite thing to do is explore new places and get a little lost on the way. I love the unexpected discoveries that go hand-in-hand with straying from what's familiar. In addition to that, I love acro yoga, aerial yoga, climbing trees, playing soccer, hiking.
As far as my favorite topic of discussion, I'm definitely a fan of the talks that make me question previously held beliefs and opinions. I love engaging with new perspectives on anything really. Be it spirituality or favorite food. I just like getting to know people, so I like conversations that extend beyond simple yes and no responses.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't believe in singling any one event out over another. They are all amazing because they are all intertwined - one rippling into the next, rippling into the next.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach to learn. Learn to share. Share to grow.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An openmind. A positive attitude. A new and changing perspective... At the very least, I hope to offer a pleasant conversation. Oh, I also make really good omelettes :)
