One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

lived the Tunisian revolution closely with a shitty rental car surrounded by the war tanks

roadtripped from New Delhi to Paris with a very vintage Indian car and a non-driver friend

lived with Nepalese Maoist rebel warriors for 3 weeks during the Nepalese civil war

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to drive any vehicle

I can teach French, optionally some slang and French-bashing

I wanna learn power drifting on Mario Kart NES

I'm a bad cook and it's aggravating, I'd appreciate some help
