教，学，和分享

Teach: I'd be happy to give some elementary Spanish practice to anyone looking for it. Same goes for English but on a more advanced level - I've had like 25 more years of practice at that. I also have a few (literally 2) recipes I could teach.

Learn: I think this depends on what you willing to teach, right? Why are they asking me this? Like if I said I want to learn advanced yoga poses and was hosted by someone who doesn't do yoga, wouldn't they just feel bad? Like they let me down? I'm willing to learn what you are willing to teach - because I'm not rude!

Share: Time, the aforementioned recipes, jokes, stories, books (book swap? anyone? anyone? Bueller?), book recommendations - and the game of Nertz. It will change your life.
