One Amazing Thing I've Done
I studied abroad in East Africa for four months and came out with some pretty amazing stories including: a poached giraffe (sad) mating lions a bathroom with bats living in it a sky covered with 10,000 bats emerging from mango trees an egalitarian hunter/gatherer tribe that loves cannabis
Teach, Learn, Share
If you have a garden, I can definitely give you some advice and help you with various landscaping projects. I am also particularly interested in practicing my Spanish, so if you speak Spanish or are learning as I am, let's chat!
What I Can Share With Hosts
I am happy to help out around the house in whatever way! I can cook, will definitely clean up any mess that I've created, and would love to help with any garden project that you have. I can also potentially offer you a place to stay at The Mothership if you are ever in Portland.
