One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the amazing experience of white-water rafting down the Nile river in Uganda in 2012!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am in a Great Books program at school, so we could discuss the classics. I am also very interested in learning from different cultures what things like freedom or equal rights and opportunities mean to them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook good Thai food for you. If you want to try some homemade American food, I know some of my Grammy's recipes by heart. I will sing a song for you. I will also have little tokens from previous cities I have visited on this trip (Budapest, Rome, Venice).
