Teach, Learn, Share

Economically, it doesn't makes sense to travel for the sake of traveling. But if you know your time on Earth is short, and you're able to get up and go, then it doesn't make sense not to.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tea, movies, music, an extra towel and sleeping bag. Toothpaste and shampoo. I like making people food too so that's always a possibility.
