One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't think I've done the 'amazing' thing yet. I always imagine it would involve helping another in a major way that involved significant self-sacrifice.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about:
- Psychological phenomena (especially schizophrenia and psychosis)
- About peoples life experiences (listening to their stories/passions/problems)
- How to write well (especially poetry)
- German language
- The History of Philosophy/Philology/Religion
- Music Theory
- How lifestyles differ with culture, country and language

I am confident in teaching/sharing information about:
- Piano and music theory
- Psychology
- Cooking/baking
- Writing/editing/proofreading in English

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a
- Good listener and loyal, honest friend
- Although I value alone time with my books, I am also a very active and social person, always seeking out new experiences and places to go!
- I am experienced in giving piano lessons, cleaning, babysitting, pet-sitting, house-sitting and cooking/baking.
