Hello! If you're reading this you're probably either considering hosting or looking to crash on my couch. A little about me, I'm from Washington DC but I recently moved to Wellington and work in parliament. I grew up about half my life in Asia and Latin America and I enjoy traveling and mountain biking. I'm easy going, friendly, respectful, and hope to meet you soon!

Teach, Learn, Share
You put the lime in the coconut and drink 'em both up. Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Travel stories, good company, and a room cleaner than when I arrived!
My Interests
On a typical day I'm comfortable going out to restaurants/bars or just staying in with good company and a movie. If I'm in a part of the world with mountains you'll find me spending my days on a mountain bike or on a snowboard. If I'm near the sea I'll be 100ft under exploring shipwrecks and reef systems.
