One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Snorkelled in Maya Bay
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to ride a bike (and repair one too), basics of video game development, how to make bad-ass ramen and fried cashews. I've traveled quite a bit in India and can recommend some amazing places. I have a wealth of knowledge on obscure topics raging from aircraft propulsion systems, big lebowski quotes all the way to human psychology and philosophy.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I usually get some quirky local food and sweets along on my travels to share with people I meet. I am very happy to help around the house (do dishes and all that). And I love pets!
