My roots are somewhat spread out but run deep in a few special places including Flint, Michigan, Key West, Florida and Livingston, Guatemala! My partner, Markus and I have a home in Flint, Mi that we recently restored and look forward to sharing our home and meeting people from different places. In school I studied English and writing, as well as Ecology. In the winters, Markus and I are usually in Guatemala, where we run a small non-profit. Our non-profit focuses on helping indigenous communities accomplish their economic goals in a meaningful and sustainable way. We are also able to host couch-surfers in Guatemala who might be interested in volunteering opportunities.
