One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eating fresh pineapples on the blue Nile right before plunging down the whitewater rapids and catching salamanders in the Catskills of New York.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach the art of cooking lentils, the words of English, and how to correctly sew a button. I love to learn anything and everything, but I would definitely appreciate a good lesson on how to tie shoelaces!
