One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My 4 day hike on the Inca Trail to Macchu Picchu was really mind blowing. I m not a religious person, but the hike was very spiritual. I hiked a lot on my own and when you are on your own, hiking, surrounded by nature, it really transports your mind,,,, I cried when I touched the Pyramids in Cairo

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak French pretty fluently and I love teaching, as I was just teaching in Korea. I am also a trained event planner so my organizational skills are amazing. I love helping people organize and clean their spaces.

Interesting conversations, a gift from NYC, a respectful guest
