Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make some bomb Mexican food. I can exchange some Spanish or Dutch or some interesting foreign drinking games. Always teaching/ learning/ sharing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A place to stay with home cooked meals and tour guide if you find yourself where my future self is living. I will bring you fresh flowers or I'll buy your beer or latte if you want to show me a nearby pub/café. Also, if you have pets, I will play with them and walk your dog(s) if that's cool with you.
