One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the beauty of nature around me is always amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I always want to improve my German, and I can help you to improve your English. I can barely play a guitar, so if you're a total novice I will be your teacher, but if you're good then I will be your student. Any other totally new languages and instruments would be great to learn as well! I also like to learn about SCIENCE!
