About Me

I am from Seattle, but spent most of my childhood growing up in Atlanta and Brunswick, Georgia. Since 2007 I have been studying in Western Pennsylvania. For my third year of college I lived/studied in Barcelona. I've worked in North Carolina and Georgia and haven't really stopped bouncing around yet.

I'm a Peace Corps volunteer currently living in the Gurage Zone of Ethiopia. I'm almost positive no couchsurfer would want to come to this part of the country, especially my town of 2,000 people, but if you want to them suprise me :) I need to keep my reputation within my tiny, traditional community in good standing so that means no female visitors, unfortunately. But, if you just want to meet up in Addis I can show you some cool spots and of course here in the capital gender doesn't matter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm living in a tiny town in rural Ethiopia. Technologically speaking, there's nothing here but sometimes it can be REALLY fun :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to have someone give me tips on my Spanish and I would be happy to reciprocate through helping with English! Now that I'm in Ethiopia, some Amharic would be nice as well!
