I grew up in San Francisco and attended university in Humboldt County, California. After a semester abroad in Thailand I focused my studies from photojournalism to world religions. I have spent the past year WWOOFing in New Zealand, working on community economic development projects in Bali, and working as an English teacher/tutor in Saigon, Vietnam. I'm back in the US, excited to meet interesting people from different corners, and to learn of the locals' favorite spots. I think of myself as open-minded, easy to get along with, and extremely respectful of others. I have hosted a lot of people over the past few years and know how to value your space. PHILOSOPHY YES!
