Teach, Learn, Share

i am interested in building cross-cultural bridges and to meet people from all corners of the world. i've traveled quite a bit across asia, the middle east, west and south africa, europe, and north america. i look forward to exchanging views with anyone that either has been to these or other interesting places, or perhaps wants to go to any of them.

as i am a musician, another exciting way of interacting across cultures is through music. i'm always happy to teach, learn, or just play!
