One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Kayaking along the Maroni river in French Guiana at sunset through creeks etc.
Carnaval in Olinda. A colorful little town on a hilltop with ocean views, people celebrating at every direction.
A night out through all of London with friends, going to clubs, crashing house parties, birthday parties, my friend ends up breaking his tail bone, that part not so great but definitely memorable, dancing until are bodies numb, it was wild!
Teach, Learn, Share
Pick up languages as I travel. Learn new skills such as macrame artesanato. Try new things. Share my skills in being a good listener and giving good advice. Teach languages. I speak four.
What I Can Share with Hosts
A zen place to stay while visiting the enchanted place that is Pipa. Cleanliness. I like to keep my place tighty and expect my guests to take the same care. Vegetarian meals. Advice on the best places to visit. Orientation of the town. A studio close to the center. Two minutes walk from main street. Currenly I can only offer the floor with matress or a hammack to sleep. To single travelers as my space is small. A home away from home. Respect. Friendship.
