Movies: O Brother Where Art Thou, Sound of Music, Singing in the Rain. tv comedies (The Office, 30 Rock...)

Books: not a big reader of fiction o.O But the Laura Ingalls Wilder and Anne of Green Gables series will always hold a place in my heart. I usually opt for non-fiction if I'm picking out a book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited Ireland and didn't have a single drop of guinness :O But I made a guinness chocolate cake in Spain ^_^

Teach, Learn, Share

science, art, culture

Uno de mis objetivos es mejorar mi español, entonces, conversación en español!
E agora, depois de visitar ao Portugal, estou inspirada a aprender português :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Mainly conversation and learning- I've studied subjects from biomechanics to plant ecology; I like to talk about things I'm passionate about and I like to listen to others talk about what they're passionate about. Discussion on sciences, arts, culture, and religion all intrigue me and broaden my understanding and experience of the world.
I play the ukulele, so if you wanted to try that out I could teach you a few basics.
