Teach, Learn, Share
I can share : Korean (I teached high school students)
Korean culture and food, music, my travel experiences, and other things you're interested in my life.
I can learn : your language and your place you live or lived, and anything you are good at. I prepare to learn all things!
What I Can Share with Hosts
If you are with me, I can share my experience and opinions, knowledge about Korea, travel, and everything I like. Also, if you have enough time I like hangout together too!
And sometimes it can be possible cooking Korean food for you, though it's not such a good thing h.h
