One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed a mountain

Teach, Learn, Share

English - pronunciation, idioms, vocab, grammar. I enjoy correcting people in conversation (if they want to be corrected, of course), and helping them to sound like a native!

I know the ins and outs of some edgy places in London if you need advice, and general cool places to go in the UK if you are wanting to come here

I am keen to learn Italian and also a little Spanish.

I have a GCSE in Japanese though since then I have forgotten a lot of the language. Any opportunity to practice and re-learn it would be much appreciated!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some 'deep chats'. I like exploring ideas and thinking about things, sharing knowledge etc.

I can give you big questions about life and a positive happy energy around the house :)
