It appears diversity makes the human race so intense and curious (I guess I gather a bit of all the meanings 'curious' conveys.) I want to feel that intensity and live curiosity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not that I've done but that I've lived:

I went to live with a Shuar (one of the indigenous groups that live deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest) for a month. No running water, no electricity, no shower, no toilettes, nothing material, just some meaningful conversations.

Teach, Learn, Share

I intend to be able to have a serious conversation in Russian by the time I go back home. It would also be my pleasure to teach some French, English, or Spanish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I guess pretty much anything that comes to mind… with reason.
