About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience as much as this world has to offer, and meet as many people along the way as I can.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling, meeting new people and anything creative - art, theaters, museums and the like. Reading books and drinking by oceans (if I can ever happen to be near one) and in parks is a favorite activity.

I'm 24 years old and just moved to DC from New York, following a year in London. Where next is TBD!

PHILOSOPHY

"An individual whose life is based on a rigid system of rules cannot reach their full potential until they not just 'think outside of the box' but also realize that there never was a box at all"

Everybody has a story -- I'd love to hear it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My stories, an ear for theirs, and as much of my own personal culture that I can. I'm a pretty good cook and love experimenting with new things, so if you host me, food is certainly in your future.
