One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled SE Asia for 6 months by myself. I don’t know if it’s amaaazing but it was pretty cool

Teach, Learn, Share

Open to learning anything new really. Sort of an open book and really value deep connection and chats of all kinds. And also just chilling and having fun! Sometimes it’s nice just to shoot the shit over a beer or 2. Hell over some video games. I claim I’ll crush you at Mario kart… but it’s anyone’s game really. Really want to do learn some martial arts and deepen my spiritual practice. Recently did a 7 day vipassana which was challenging but interesting. I know a lot about nutrition and working out. Have also been an actor for a long time and am pretty good at doing silly voices/characters/accents if you feel like messing around.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Deep soulful chats about life and self, being very funny and silly, and being pretty open about anything and everything. I’m a good listener.
