One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once cartwheeled back to my house with my friend from the bars (about a kilometer.) We grabbed towels, ran to the beach and went skinny dipping and watched the sunrise. I have never had so much fun nor have my arms ever hurt so bad for days after.

Teach, Learn, Share

I cook, I love to teach people how to cook, and I love to share and have stories shared with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer to make simple but good food, share my stories, and hopefully share my culture with them. I am somewhat of a silly personality, so I hope I can bring a smile to your face while I am at it.
