serious and silly.
I love cute anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-I've traveled all over the world, countries which I'll list a little lower
-I've written and hosted several murder mysteries
-I'm great friends with all my Ex-girlfriends
-I volunteer with a group called SILK (Sexual Information Leads to Knowledge): going into high schools and discussing hate speech and bullying, especially in relation to the LGBTQ community.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn Mandarin more fluently, as of this moment I can understand well, speak poorly, and am utterly illiterate.
Would also love to learn any kind of cooking you consider your specialty. I love food!
Would love to learn any sort of dance you are proficient in, or just go dancing in general

I could teach you some kung fu but then we'd have to have a mandatory duel to the death, and that's a shame because I don't even know you yet
I could teach you English haha what else is a degree in english lit good for?
I could teach you all the bad puns I know

What I Can Share with Hosts

We could share stories, joints, beers, lives, interests, music, points of view, intelligent discourse, high fives, pizza pockets, pizza pies, regrets, childhood angst, existential terror, animal friends, absurdist humour (hopefully, otherwise I just look crazy)
