Teach, Learn, Share

I don't really believe in teaching something in particular as such, but rather sharing and exchanging experiences, knowledge, tips and being open minded on any subject.

What I Can Share with Hosts

IT Knowledge and a helping hand in electronics.
Helping hand around the house (gardening, cleaning, sitting, cooking traditional food) - all through past experiences.
Obviously, beer! :)
