I'm bringing my hula hoop with me to every country and would love to teach it to anyone! So much fun.

I would love to learn about as many different cultures and languages. That's why I'm traveling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My energetic and bubbly personality as well as my very postitive attitude. There's nothing I love more than meeting new people and having conversations about life. Would love to sit and drink tea or a beer and just talk about life.
