Currently based in Orlando, Florida, but I move around a lot—I guess you could call me a bit of a nomad. I love new experiences, deep conversations, and learning about people’s lives.

If you host me, I promise I won’t just take—I’ll cook, buy you a meal, or help out however I can. We’ll no doubt become lifelong contacts, and you’ll always have a place to stay wherever I end up in the world.

I took a year off in 2018 and fell in love with Mexico, which sparked my passion for Spanish. Now, I love picking up bits of any new language, so please teach me a few phrases! Soy buena onda y amo nuevas oportunidades de conocer gente y practicar el idioma.

I’m also big on laughter and connection—expect jokes, stories, and maybe even a little singing (if you play guitar, let’s have a sing-along!). I take weekly psychology lessons with a fascinating Russian mentor, which keeps me curious and always up for meaningful conversations.

I’m easygoing, social, and completely comfortable in other people’s homes; in fact, I thrive in them. Let’s share good times, great conversations, and plenty of laughs!
