Server at a cafe. Volunteer soccer coach. Hoping to learn more, write more, and perform comedy. From the suburbs of Chicago, I've studied and lived in Boston, Madrid and Los Angeles.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy coaching. Soccer, hockey, boxing, etc. I like sharing my knowledge and helping people to enjoy playing sports.
I love learning languages. I always like practicing my Spanish. I'm hoping to learn French and German.
Nothing is better than sharing great food with people. Cooking or eating out together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help cook and clean. I speak Spanish and English and am willing to converse and help teach either language. I love sitting with company, eating, drinking, and talking. I've a great recipe for chocolate chip cookies. I'm a willing companion for a hike, a walk around town, or even some sport and exercise. And of course, I'm always willing to meet people and show them around my city, should they come and visit.
