Hi!

I'm a software engineer completing my masters at Georgia Tech but I also have worked in Russia and in Taiwan as an ESL teacher for several years since I got my Celta certification. I love exploring the world and learning new things - especially foreign languages - though honestly if you've ever watched me in a game of Scrabble you might question my fluency even in English - qwijibo is totally a word!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I'm always up for a good swap. I'm happy to teach any of the following!
- Computer programming
- Simple guitar - like how to tune it and your basic chords.
- Piano (mostly playing by ear and improvising)
- Juggling and card manipulations
- ESL

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I don't really have much in the way of material possessions but I'm more than happy to lend a hand around the house, clean, lift heavy things, etc. And as an added parting gift, I promise not to do any cooking - believe me when I say that is a blessing in disguise. But I can bring a bottle of Pinot!
