Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH:
Good luck getting me to shut up about animal welfare and behaviour! I'm also happy to help with English.

LEARN:
If you speak French, Swahili, ASL, or BSL I'd love to practice with you!

SHARE:
I cook mainly vegan and exclusively gluten free and am happy to share food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a small study and a living room where you can sleep. (The living room is shared with my two pets along with some temporary foster pets). You are welcome to use the kitchen/washing machine/tumble dryer.
