One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've worked at four animals shelters, including a bunny sanctuary for ~8 years!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
About NYC! I used to live in Brooklyn, I can take you to some cool music venues or go with you to a restaurant (I know a BUNCH of good ones!)
English/ American culture! I am very friendly and patient, a language exchange would be very fun with me!
About my hometown! There's a very neat-o aquarium, some beaches and parks, and a cool downtown area.

A skill! If you want to learn how to do macrame, sew, knit, crochet, or embroider, I can teach you!

Learn:
Your language!!! Your culture! About YOU!

Share:

Music! If you play guitar, bass, ukulele, mandolin, violin, drums, keyboard, sax (tenor and alto), trumpet, or play any other instrument my father and I have, or sing, we should jam! You can play our instruments. We have a whole room exclusively for video games and making music!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will be traveling with my very unique banjolele, my tarot cards, my Magic: the Gathering cards, and my hemp!

I am happy to do a language exchange- type meet- up over drinks (coffee or alcoholic!), talk about living on the East Coast of the USA, teach macarame/ or make you a bracelet, teach you some chords on banjolele or play you a song, read your tarot cards, or play Magic: the Gathering with you!

I look forward to meeting new people and seeing new things!
