CURRENT MISSION Learn 10 sing along songs on my guitar ABOUT ME I'm curious. I like exploring new places and connecting with people who may be very different from me, but share my love for living a full life. I like learning languages, because every new word I learn gives me another way of naming and explaining the world. I love dancing and laughing because it gives me a way to connect to others without words. I like to eat good food because... well, who doesn't? I'm pretty laid back and I like the surprises that sneak into my life when I get to go with the flow, with no particular destination in mind. PHILOSOPHY Happiness is our responsibility to create for ourselves.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can help people learn the basics of Arabic and Swahili. I can help people others get conversational in Spanish. I can teach someone how to swim. I love talking about psychology (especially about cognition and learning). I'd LOVE to learn more guitar and latin dance. I'll never turn down a hiking trip!
My Interests
I like running and swimming and walking down streets I don't know. I am interested in psychology and languages, I love learning how other people see and describe the world. I like to jam good music from all over the place. I'm learning to play the guitar... I'm a professional shower singer. I keep up with current events around the world and I like learning about new innovative ideas people are doing, creating and contributing what I can!
