One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a trip across the US by dumpstering a large amount of Wendy's soda cups. I lived in Prague between two beautiful parks and could always hear soccer matches on Sunday mornings. I saw the monarch butterfly migration in Mexico. I got to live with both of my best friends at the same time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to knit, show you around Albuquerque a bit, and you can use my sewing machine if you need to patch something up. If you come with handy skills, you should show them off!
