Enseña, aprende, comparte

I love to learn new things and share my knowledge with others. I’m kind of an expert generalist so I know a lot of random stuff about random stuff.

Stuff I can share : cooking and food, travel recommendations, writing and advice about writing, book recommendations

Skills I’m working on : climbing / bouldering, surfing, tattooing, Shibari and bondage, drawing, digital fabrication (3D printing etc)
