I love the outdoors, i love watching movies (on a couch!!)

Teach, Learn, Share

Most toilets flush in E flat.
On average, 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens every year.
The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from and old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

Well, I'll teach you how to play the guitar. I'll teach you how to apply a force in ultimate frisbee. I'll teach you how to say hello in several languages.

I need you to teach me something to though - I'm definitely not in this solely for the couch!

And share? I'll share my stories of traveling and working and living in South Africa. I don't share my toothbrush.

Countries I’ve Visited

England, Israel, Italy, Japan, Namibia, Palestine, South Korea, Switzerland, Tanzania, Thailand, United States, Wales
