我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Studying abroad in Namibia and South Africa for 4 months. It was a powerful and deep time of connection with a number of homestays, an internship, and classes on race, religion, and development.

教，学，和分享

I can teach you about psychology, Australia, dialogue, and geography. I love all of these things and I am willing to share what I know.

I want to learn more about people's experiences (hopes, fears, pains, where you get your enjoyment from, and what makes you unique).

I am willing to share about my travel experiences and many other things I have learned about life.
