"Here I am, a bundle of past recollections and future dreams, knotted up in a reasonably attractive bundle of flesh." - Sylvia Plath

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived without Taco Bell while abroad

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to introduce people to other locals and local places. I know a decent bit of French to get around and am learning Norwegian . I play guitar and can give tips on that, as well as teach someone how to use chopsticks. I love learning new things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I bring my guitar almost everywhere I go, and I wouldn't mind sharing what I know on the instrument. I could teach a couple songs or chords or just give tips in general. I'm also an aspiring filmographer and can share a lot about many aspects of film and video, as well as cool things to know in the production of many famous movies and such. I like discussing literature, and I feel like that is a great way to really get to know someone: from analyzing a piece of literature and finding out the different perspectives everyone has on it.
