Traveling to new places, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures are some of my favorite things to do. I'd be excited to be hosted and would be a gracious, open, friendly, and caring guest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lived in China, twice.

Teach, Learn, Share

I LOVE to dance, and would gladly teach Salsa, ChaCha, Tango, Foxtrot, Swing, Waltz...or dance them if you already know them.

Also, I could teach some English, Chinese, or French in the short amount of time of the stay.

I can also play the piano, some guitar, and sing, and would be excited to jam with other musicians, or instruct potential learners.
