Music, Movies, and Books

I love listening to music, the genre doesnt matter to much, although the reggaeton here in south america is getting a bit repetitive. Ive been reading mostly pop-science and non-fiction books, and im sort of developing an interest in international relations and politics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossed the Atlantic ocean by sailingboat.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd really like to learn spanish. It's a beautiful, widely used language used by beautiful cultures around the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some dutch culture, recipies, I could be a great buddy for outdoor activities, and if theres water nearby ill take you out for a sail.
