The Count of Monte Cristo, The Brothers Karamazov, East of Eden, The Sun Also Rises, Dune, One Hundred Years of Solitude, and surely many others as of yet undiscovered.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
While in the countryside of Ecuador, I had the chance to shadow a local dentist who was recording the oral condition of the children of one village. Some of the kids needed teeth pulled, others just inspection - I was partly a translator for my classmates working alongside me. Afterwards, we taught them how to use a toothbrush. It was a very humbling experience.
Teach, Learn, Share
Learning is something I am grateful for: the ability to avoid idleness and thus restlessness.
I've worked as a tutor of Spanish and French, and would love to help you on your linguistic adventure.
I'm a fan of trivia, distinct perspectives, and deeper understanding of open-ended subjects.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm happy to offer my enthusiasm, an open mind, and a willingness to explore our surroundings and do interesting things.
