I'm a writer (in English) and Arabic tutor. I love the written word and have a natural affinity for languages.

I'm queer and believe in gender diversity.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I've had a lot of brilliant experiences traveling that I can't count them all, from marveling at the beautiful depth of the Grand Canyon, to staring at the infinite night sky in the Death Valley, to camping in the Czech wilderness...

Insegna, impara, condividi

I'm an Arabic tutor. I got into it because I love the language and love sharing it with the world. I'd be happy to teach you!

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

Good company and a good conversation. A new perspective. An Arabic lesson or two!
