Teach, Learn, Share
I would love to share meals and stories and learn about my host's favorite things to do locally.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can play music for my hosts and teach them about botany (although I'm still getting aquatinted with Australian flora and fauna).
My Interests
At the moment I am most interested in exploring my curiosity about Australia. I spend a lot of time outdoors and love scientific illustration, both of which I hope to do while traveling!
