Teach, Learn, Share
I have an extensive dance background and will encourage anyone to dance! I also am into outdoor recreation and have quite a few stories and tips to share.
What I Can Share With Hosts

My Interests
All kinds of dancing! Blues, argentine tango, ballroom, salsa, modern, jazz, clubbing, skanking. Anything that involves music and moving my body. I also like to make music by singing and playing piano or uke. I love being outside, be it hiking, cycling, camping, backpacking, walking, climbing, playing, etc. I dabble in a lot and am an expert of nothing. I am also very much interested in the healing arts: yoga, herbalism, and massage therapy are my most current explorations.
