One Amazing Thing I've Done
Climbed Mt. Fuji overnight and saw the sun rise from the top. It was absolutely stunning.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach -- English, basic partner dancing (waltz, salsa, bachata, East Coast swing, a very little bit of tango!) Learn -- Other languages Share -- A delicious dark chocolate cake recipe, songs sung in the street under the stars.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I am a very neat/tidy sort of person, and am willing to help out with housework/cooking/baking in thanks for your generosity. In the spirit of the old troubadours, I would gladly trade story for story and song for song. :)
My Interests
Languages, anything outdoors (hiking, biking, camping, canoeing, etc), ballroom dance, history (local and national). At the moment I'm mad about long-distance cycling/camping -- ask about my plans for a "Tour d'Angleterre"! ;)
