Algo increíble que he hecho

I lived for almost a year in a transformed minivan, on the road, in the western US

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I teach litterature, philosphy, french, photography.
I can also teach some techniques such as japanese bookbinding, different kinds of braiding...
I want to learn more about handicrafts, bushcrafts, and outdoors sports such as canyoneering, kayaking...

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can teach French, English or Spanish - or help you with anything related to these languages.

I can also teach very cool and unusual braiding techniques. You could make an awesome bracelet or a key chain in no time!

I can cook french crepes for you! Or even a delicious chocolate cake without flour, if you want one (if we can find the proper ingredients and you have the tools of course ;-)).

I also have a whole virtual library (hundreds of ebooks about all kinds of skills and handicrafts) that I’d be happy to share with anyone who might be interested!
