I've been lucky enough to have had many amazing experiences, but the things that stick with me the most are the more authentic experiences and chance encounters that are made possible by traveling alone without an itinerary.

Cooking, chores, food, stories, contacts in other places, dance lessons, bits and pieces of other languages I've picked up, travel advice, and hopefully a lot of laughs and a selfie or two making ridiculous faces. Oh and acroyoga. If you want to learn to fly I would be overjoyed to be the first person to base you.

I'm a passionate vegan who loves to cook, bake, and try local and bizarre foods. I get very enthusiastic about eating. If you like to share (vegan) food, whether or not you're vegan, we'll probably get along very well. Dancing, especially latin and other partner dancing, and aerials and acrobatics are among my greatest joys in life. I like biking, hiking, and just wandering around and exploring. Good books and loose leaf tea make me particularly happy.
