Hi, I am a Colorado native. I am an elementary school teacher and I love to travel. I love having new experiences and meeting new people. I have always been surrounded by people from different countries and backgrounds and I love talking to them and learning new things. I am currently living in Fukui, Japan.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most music. I love Harry Potter and I honestly see every movie that comes out in theaters (except horror movies) however, I think my favorite movie of all time is Monty Python and the holy Grail.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been skydiving and I once rode an elephant.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have lived in the Vail Valley my entire life and I am also a Ski Instructor. I can definitely teach someone about the ski culture. I would love to learn about different countries and different cultures as well as different experiences people have. I share a love of travel and getting to know new people. I am also an assistant language teacher so I can help someone work on their English.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love learning about different cultures and areas. I also love to have a good time. I enjoy getting to know new people and experiencing new things.
