I'm a recent college grad from Helena, MT. I studied Political Science and Human Rights, with an emphasis on Middle East Politics and Arabic. I'm going to be relocating to Beirut, Lebanon this fall, after doing some traveling around Europe. I love being outside, and I'm extremely obsessed with climbing -- rock, alpine, and ice -- and, to a lesser extent, with hiking and backpacking.

I'm interested in meeting people who share a love for exploring the world, climbing, good food, and discussions about art, music, and politics.

Cosa posso offrire agli host
I'm a good cook and would be happy to make a meal to share -- Italian, Mexican, Thai, Indian, and Lebanese are all options! I can also trade a conversational lesson in English or Arabic (MSA or Levantine) for some conversational practice in Italian, French, Spanish, or Portuguese. I also have experience teaching climbing to beginners and could easily teach you the basics in an afternoon :)
