Description

My passion for traveling started when I was 13 and went on a study tour to Spain with my high school. I loved every minute of that experience - attempting a new language, meeting locals, and being immersed in a new culture. Since then I have had so many amazing experiences. I have seen incredible sights, tried new foods, participated with other communities such as Couchsurfing, and met so many amazing people. My most impactful experience was volunteering in Chile as an English teacher. I enjoyed this experience immensely and learned so much from my colleagues and students there.

Currently I am a Spanish teacher in the U.S., and I plan to do Work Away trips over the summer when I have an extended break. My goal is to visit every country in South America.
