Teach, Learn, Share

I guess the easy answer is English language stuff - I have taught kids and adults in a number of countries and setting. From editing/grammar stuff to help translating...I'm happy to help!
I also love cooking, dancing, coffee & just walking around talking/learning about new people/places.
