ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Washington, DC, but have spent the past few years living and working in Costa Rica, Colombia, and Japan. I am easy-going, open-minded, respectful, and friendly. I enjoy doing things outdoors, like hiking, camping, and playing sports, but also like going to bars and concerts.

PHILOSOPHY

The Golden Rule - Treat others how you want to be treated.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I am an English teacher and am always happy to speak with anyone who wants to practice. I can also teach basic-intermediate Spanish, or give some advice about teaching in Asia or Latin America.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Interesting stories, funny jokes, and good food. I love to cook, and I think sharing meals is a great way to connect with people and show gratitude to hosts.
