Music, Movies, and Books

SO MANY, but I just finished Chang-Rae Lee's "On Such A Full Sea." It was...mostly boring but had an ending that will tear your heart out. I love listening to short stories on The New Yorker's fiction podcast.

As for music, its so hard for me to even begin. Anything from American roots, to hiphop, to motown, to do-wop, some country, to even some K-pop.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 20, I was walking around Rennes and wandered into a church to rest for a bit. I accidentally fell asleep on one of the benches. When I woke up, I was in the middle of someone's funeral and had to pretend like I was there on purpose!

As for amazing things I've seen, the Annapurnas were pretty spectacular. I've also seen some beautiful things underwater, especially the cenotes caves in Mexico. I'm amazed by most things I see so I could go on forever.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a teacher because I love to learn and share that knowledge with others. I'll teach you anything I know!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Pints. Stories. That feeling that you get from other humans.
