NB: My situation at the moment makes it hard for me to host, so please know that it's not very likely that I will be able to help you. Thanks.

CURRENT MISSION

Live and learn.

ABOUT ME

Long-term expat who especially likes living in new places, but also traveling shorter term when possible. Interested in intercultural differences both academically and personally. I enjoy making new acquaintances wherever I go, and I think people find me honest and comfortable to be around.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I'm open-minded but structured, outgoing although introverted, genuinely excited about people, and even more so about dogs.

PHILOSOPHY

Do good, be good, feel good.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Although I can cook, I never really know what I'm doing, so I have no recipes or skill to pass on to others. I'll be happy to cook for you though, and give hints and tips for easy healthy options (as my life basically revolves around it).
