One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in China when I was 18 years old. I've been traveling much in Asia, Europe, and the US since then.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a patient English teacher. I am seeking to learn French and improve my Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. I like to cook with others and play music.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good conversation, stories of travels, a nice meal, and potentially lodging in Paris! I am a jazz singer, so if you want a song, I have some to sing to you!
