One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Vancouver, Canada for the 2010 Winter Olympics the night of the opening ceremony. I've never been in a city with more energy - it was an incredible experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love having interesting conversations and hearing different opinions about everything. I'm also strangely good with random facts and placing faces from movies.

I love learning new things - if you're a French speaker we should talk. I'm sure you could teach me a lot.
