ABOUT ME

Hey everybody! My name is Hailey Dashiell. I'm a 20 year old girl from a small town in Pennsylvania. I'm currently living with a host family in a small village called Kolozsnéma in Slovakia. I finished teaching English for 3 weeks in Borsfa, Hungary last Thursday and am doing the same thing here for another 3 weeks. On August 4th I will be back in Budapest for one week before going back home to the US. Im a very easy going happy person who enjoys having a good time. I promise I am a nice person to have around.
