I love ROLLER SKATING most of all and beyond that many other things: perfumes, pole dancing and wushu martial arts and meditative movement, modern art, cooking and wining and dining :) I make smell, video, writing content at https://clubsmell.com/
I'm very Californian (chill...likes avocados and swimming in the ocean) and have lived all over California, but now live in New York City and love it here. I did an exchange semester in the rural Netherlands and loved it there too! I enjoy living the version of myself that changes based on the place I am in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I impromptu did an open mic in Istanbul, spitballed and told a David Sedaris joke, and then a lady from Azerbaijan bought me Jaeger shots :)

Also I have smelled 100+ chemicals identified in beef.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you taichi since I've been doing wushu (Chinese martial arts) for over a decade, and I also practice yoga.
Language learning! I'd like to learn cute phrases in other languages.
I can share sprays of my perfumes if you want to sample some scents!
