CURRENT MISSION

Keep things that are of significance and do away with the rest

ABOUT ME

I want to return to Africa, learn French, continue writing, make Melbourne my base and earn enough money to live simply, create things and explore the world, one language barrier at a time.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life slowly. I try not to be a burden in any way. I enjoy people who are open minded. I never want to be 'stuck' in my head - your thoughts (and life in general) should not go in a circle, it should be unending line. Social interactions are best when they are meaningful to all everyone involved. Our collective experiences are of much more concrete importance than our individual experiences.

Interests

• writing
• cooking
• cocktails
• swimming

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to cook some delicious and healthy meals, how to make certain cocktails, how to barista, how to speak English, how to do housepainting, how to swim and how to feel ok (maybe).

I would like to learn to speak French through immersion, how to cook some more delicious and healthy meals, and anything else you may have to offer.
