About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To discover, experience and learn new things so as to expand my knowledge base in the skills I wish to develop and connect with the people and communities I encounter everywhere I go.
ABOUT ME
I absolutely loath describing myself because i feel as though i'm selling something, but alas... I am a very friendly, talkative and considerate person who finds a lot of pleasure in pleasing others. I also express my appreciation to its fullest extent.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is beautiful
Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out of it alive

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Lived a life full of love. That's by far the most amazing thing I can claim to have done. It's a work in progress of course :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I play music so jamming is one of the things I've got to offer! I'm mainly a djembe and banjo player, but i can also sing and play a bit of trombone. If you're looking to learn how to play any of those instruments, i would be happy to share what I can.
Homebrew beer is also on my roster of skills, as well as making kombucha so if there's any fermented drink fans out there, we're sure to get along.
I've also been slowly but surely accumulating knowledge and skills related to growing organic vegetables as well as plants in general so I'd be more than happy to contribute to any project one might have growing stuff in their garden or perhaps in containers on their balcony!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I take great pleasure in contributing anything I can to the generous hosts who welcome me into their homes, be it as fun as cooking dinner or as meditative as washing the dishes. My ears and my heart are adaptable to a wide spectrum of human realities and naturally gravitate towards curiosity, openness and understanding.
