The following words have been used to describe me by others: intense, driven, crazy, warm, genuine, honest, winsome, loud, sociable, intelligent.

I can say thank you in ten different languages but can't get anywhere without Google Maps.

I unfortunately cannot host right now because I thought I would give tiny living a try which means my apartment is really, really small. However, if you want to grab a beer or want a free translator for an afternoon, send me a message!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to eat but have limited cooking skills. Therefore, I can recommend at least one great restaurant from each city I've been to.

I'm also really good at sharing food.

Oh! And I'm a teacher, so hopefully means that I am good at teaching things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Smiles and hugs. Lots of them.
