CURRENT MISSION

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think putting these moments in words in this box might not do justice to those moments. Sometimes they are pretty simple like seeing stars away from light pollution, or the sea when you havent seen it for a while, these moments make me realise how tiny and insignificant I really am. Others are less moments of quiet contemplation and more of raucous joy and fun and sharing of music, fire, food, magic....

update: I hitch-hiked across the atlantic on a sailing boat. Boom. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer English/Spanish conversation practice, can teach juggling, poi, lindy hop (swing) and blues dancing. I like making food and music together with people, possibly at the same time. So many things I want to learn, new recipes are always good, yoga and meditation, sharing books, languages, stories to tell, songs to sing....
