One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been able to travel the world as a job! I have been so lucky to be paid for one of my greatest passions, and even better to be able to experience so many cultures. I have been able to meet, work with, love some of the most incredible people. I feel truly lucky and grateful for my life

What I Can Share with Hosts

I simply enjoy meeting as many people from as many places and cultures as I can. I love to help people and have tried my best to serve my fellow man as much as I could throughout my life. I would love to meet people that work with humanitarian, animal welfare, and environmental causes.
