One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finding some great friends

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to teach, learn and share anything

Some specific things:

Teach: how to bondage a chicken, the almost perfect potato or lemon tart (requires an oven), the meaning of life (found in the almost perfect potato and lemon tart).
Learn: I've got everything to learn, your culture, the place you come from and your story are great places to start. I am also quite into Egypt and Japan recently.
Share: I can share good and bad advice. I know a lot about Paris, a little about France, Japan and Egypt, quite a bit about Washington D.C. Depending on the situation, I can also share a bed, floor, inflatable mattress, grass patch, tea, coffee and food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can try to cook something. I have to disclaim a 2/3 success rate.
I can give advice about things. Success there is on a case by case basis.
