One Amazing Thing I've Done
I made a 17 minute YouTube video documenting a solo backpacking trip I took. Not amazing, but fun!
Teach, Learn, Share
I know a little bit about a lot, and I'm always willing to practice my french with a willing tutor. I think most genuine interactions can be good chances to learn and teach.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can offer hosts an awesome, considerate, and friendly guest. That's pretty much what I hope for when I'm hosting.
