Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning and helping to teach languages! Practice, practice, practice! :) Right now I am immersed in Brazilian Portuguese & Spanish. I could always use study help. I speak Spanish fairly well.

I can teach you how to juggle, expert minimalist travel, voice characters in movies and TV, cook, talk about wine, and fly helicopters. All at the same time! ;) lol

What I Can Share with Hosts

Illuminating conversations about cross-culture experiences. I love to cook!! LAUGH a lot!!! Lots of fun, smiles, and spontaneous adventures. A warm, open minded heart, that always welcomes the next adventure. I will soon be writing blogs on travel, technology, wine, language learning, and the voice recording work that I do for characters in films, animation, and video games!
