One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Have I?

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn more languages.
My written French is a catastrophy. Some improvement wouldn't hurt.

And also I am interested in Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.
Of these three languages I should start with one of them, preferably Italian.

If there was anybody interesed in German, we could have an exchange.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Time.
Walks.

Excursions to the Alps (hiking or climbing)
Visiting interesting architectural sites.
Exchanging ideas.
