I am a joyful and curious person, eager to learn, explore, and connect. I love serious conversations, discovering new places, learning new skills, meeting new people - especially if they bring new perspectives, playing and being silly.

Interests

Learning, the pursuit of happiness, reading, writing, dance, exploring, photography, singing, languages.

I love being outdoors. My greatest joys recently have been hiking and wandering, learning to identify wildflowers and trees, and collecting wild foods for cooking, jams, and infusions.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn: Anything! I love to learn new languages or skills. I love hearing about the lives of people who grew up differently from me. I'm particularly interested in what makes people happy, what they value most, what they find fulfilling. I'm also an aspiring botanist, so I'm intensely interested about anything you can teach me about local plants, mushrooms, etc.

Teach: I'm happy to help people practice English. I can also teach a little bit of partner acrobatics and take people out dancing. I'm a wildflower fanatic, and I'd love to take you for a hike (in my area) and point out the wildflowers. I'm also interested in wild foods, and I can take you foraging and show you the local edible plants.
