I'm from Santa Cruz, California and went to university in Portland, Oregon. I've lived in France for two years, Strasbourg and Grenoble, where I studied French and taught English at a high school. I also spent a summer in Florence, Italy where I studied art conservation and fresco painting. I love playing music and singing and I'm always learning new songs on my ukulele or practicing folk songs with my friends around a bonfire. A big passion of mine is social dancing (swing, blues, salsa, contra, etc) and exploring the dance scene in the cities I visit. I'm interested in environmentalism and living a minimal waste style and one day I hope to have a little homestead in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. I'm currently living in Krakow, Poland studying Polish and would love to meet any travelers and locals to explore the city with :)
