Greetings from the United States! I am originally from Texas and now live in Oklahoma where I work as a child psychologist. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, especially cooking and eating together, so learning about the cuisine of your country would be wonderful! In my free time I like swimming/water sports, hiking, biking, soccer, card/board games, movies, photography and reading. I speak Spanish and have spent more than 3 years traveling, studying and working in Latin America, where I continue to work in the area of peace education.
I enjoy staying with families when I travel in order to experience daily life, practice the language, do fun activities together and learn to cook. I have already stayed with 2 amazing families with Workaway in Italy and France! I hope to have more opportunities for a cultural exchange in 2019. Feel free to contact me if you would like to learn more about me or my availability, including to speak via Skype.

Because of my work, I can usually only volunteer for 1-3 weeks at a time. While some hosts require more of a time commitment, I will make every effort for our brief time together to be a valuable and enjoyable experience! If my availability does not match with yours, maybe we can find another time.
