CURRENT MISSION

Easter Island (and any points/experiences along the way)

PHILOSOPHY

To take some lines from Robert Frost:

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."

(from "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening")

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English (though I spend all day doing this as my job, so I may not be keen on giving full-on lessons after work). Also I love baking and would be happy to teach you to make something sweet (cookies, fudge, muffins).
