One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have played guitar and sang while riding a bike on a dirt road; it was a bit windy too

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to play the intro to Hendrix's Castles made of sand. We can go over English irregular verbs, or make the tastiest risotto you've ever tasted.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good stories, good values, good music... Preferably nothing superficial. Not just hearing "Hi, How are you? Do you have wifi?" which has happened before.
