Teach, Learn, Share

I can possibly teach you or give you a few pointers on the outdoor activities I'm interested in e.g. surfing, motorcycle riding or fishing. I'm also always interested to learn new skills, try new foods and meet new people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a few good stories from my time traveling in the past, and a few good yarns from back home in the bay. Plus I enjoy baking and cooking, so I could possibly make you some cupcakes, crepe's or cook you dinner! I'm also a diesel mechanic, so if you have anything automotive that requires fixing or servicing I can help you with that.
