About Me

I am a teacher originally from Florida. For three years, I traveled vagabond style across the state of Florida as an environmental educator with a small environmental non-profit and taught students and citizens about all things water. I spent four summers during university traveling and teaching English in Italy and backpacking throughout Europe. In the summer of 2016, I biked 3,925 miles across the US from Maine to California with the non-profit Bike and Build to raise awareness and funds for affordable housing. Most recently I spent five months backpacking across New Zealand. I'm now living and working in the Caribbean as a primary teacher in the Cayman Islands.

Couch-surfing Goal: Meeting new people and exploring different cultures whilst seeing another part of the world. I love the serendipitous nature of traveling, meeting new people, and sharing new experiences!
