One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Critical Mass in London. Hundreds of cyclists come and cycle throughout the city together, taking over the roads. Chaotic, but harmonious and beautiful at the same time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KngMWn4PIlw
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you English (it's my job). If you want, I will identify specific things in your English that you can improve, and then show you practical ways that you can improve them.
I love exchanging cultural knowledge with people about specific things, e.g. slang, education, jokes, and more. I can also cook some things pretty well. Most importantly though, we can share a fun time.
