Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Chinese :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make you delicious food! 🥑🍅Besides that, there's not much I can give right now. But I'm not one to let an act of kindness go unpaid. Although I can't offer a place to stay right now, I promise, if you offer me one, then someday in the future when I've got a place of my own, I'll host you and your whole family--bring your sweetheart and all your kids and your dog. 😄 I'll make you all breakfast and I'll take you all around Baltimore or DC or wherever I'm living and we'll have a blast. :)
