One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My happy valley in Laos; the place I will go (in my mind) whenever I feel down. I hope you too have a chance once in your life to stand still for fifteen minutes in a place, just smiling, filled with happiness and nothing else.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach climbing. I want to learn how to play my harmonica (it's been a long process eheh...). I can share my smile and maybe a thaimassage!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I learnt thai yoga massage in Chiang Mai. If there is time, I can maybe give you one (fully clothed lol - thai massage has a bit of a bad reputation in Western countries!)
