One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked across Europe (Italy, Germany, Ireland, and Paris) for 1 1/2 months. That was the most amazing trip, because I made so many interesting friends along the way! I loved it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not quite sure what to put in this category, but I would be happy to share my experiences and advice on places to travel, things to do, music, movies, anything else I might be helpful with. I am a great tour guide of Austin, and would be happy to give you suggestions or show you around!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very accomodating to other's. I am a considerate guest who will respect all house rules. I am tidy and will clean up after myself. I am also very self sufficient. If you can only host, but must work or do other things, I will be happy to show myself around the town. I am also sociable and happy for good conversation anytime.
