One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied abroad in Ghana for one year at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and in that time I backpacked all over West Africa, hitchhiked, rode motorcycles, camped with nomads in the sahara, went to the festival au desert in Mali north of Timbuktu. I also psudo-hitch hiked across the country two years ago and ended up hitching a ride on a cessna airplane... pretty much learned how to fly and steered the plane in exchange for a ride from denver to DC. thats how I ended up in NYC!

Teach, Learn, Share

hmmmm i can maybe teach you how to... bind books, booty dance, do art projects? and how to have fun with a copy machine. i know a little banjo, a little piano, I can teach you dirty words in Asante Twi.
