I solo climbed a mountain, before going to my orchestra rehearsal with a professional French Choir in a 13th century church in Italy. Then climbed another one in Japan on accident, taking 4 hours, thinking it was a half hour hike, and took a photo of Mt Fuji from 50 miles away.

I know lots of things and love to talk about them. But I also love to learn, which gets me to shut up enough to listen to more interesting people than myself. That won't stop you from learning something interesting while we talk though! Definitely look into: -Project Gutenburg (free historic books) -Goodreads (commonly known, but could help you keep track of what you read)

I'm quite a chef, and can cook delicious Thai, Afghan, and Italian food. If you're native to those places, I apologize for not being able to replicate your mother's cooking, but I would love to cook for you as a thank you!

I'm interested in music, religion, philosophy, history, sociology, culture, technology, and ecology! I find anything interesting, and it's my personal goal to learn something from everyone I meet. But there's no doubt whether you'll learn something from me, based on the amount of talking I'm capable of haha😅
