Murakami, Woolf, Joyce, Hesse, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Hemingway, Fallaci, Mann

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stayed two nights at a barn and woke up with the sheep and goats,
Taught myself 4 languages (and counting),
Meditated at a 2000-year old fire temple,
This is a short list which needs to get a lot longer asap!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Persian (aka Farsi), you can teach me some useful phrases in your language. Sounds like a nice deal!
I turn into an enthusiastic lecturer when it comes to culture shock, politics, and societal discussions.
