Hello, I am a Peace Corps volunteer currently serving a small community in rural Western Ukraine. I am originally from Wheaton, Illinois in the US, a nice community just outside of Chicago. Like so many people here, I enjoy the intersection of travel and being a part of small ways that individuals around the world are building capacity in their communities, and developing their communities to be more vibrant, more inclusive, more peaceful, and more democratic. I love teaching and have worked and lived as an English teacher in three countries, and am currently studying International Peacebuilding and Conflict Resolution. Feel free to ask me any questions about anything listed here.

INFJ on the Myers Briggs, and I believe I'm a Taurus.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, and asking locals what things about their culture and their homes makes them the most passionate, where they see the future of their communities. I also love talking to ex-pats about their own ideas about their new communities. There's always something new that can be learned, you just have to be willing to ask!
