One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2008 I attended a Semester at Sea, traveling around the world on a cruise ship with 600 students from all around the U.S. We departed from Nova Scotia, sailed across the Atlantic and stopped in Norway, Russia, Denmark, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Greece, Egypt and Croatia.

2009 I volunteered in Rwanda teaching English in a couple different orphanages. We also filmed a documentary on post genocidal recovery and went gorilla trekking on the border of the Congo.

2012 I moved to Seoul, South Korea to teach English. What an amazing 2 years of karaoke, jimjilbangs, and soju!

2014 I embarked on an epic solo backpacking trip through Japan, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Philippines

2015 I traveled to Iceland to spread my grandpa's ashes through our ancestor's village. I went scuba diving between two continental plates at Silfra Fissure. I then proceeded to Paris and Germany, then back to Florida, where I currently reside.

Teach, Learn, Share

In learning you will teach... and in teaching you will learn!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I grew up in Fort Lauderdale so very familiar with the surrounding area. I have a lot of local friends and knowledge of good eats, local spots, and the best scuba diving.

I have a ton of travel stories and good conversation :)

Good food and conversation :)
