One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Oaxaca, Mexico with a family for a month which was incredible - my friends and I got stranded at the hot springs, we mingled with secret service agents, we hiked in the mountains and did ecotourism projects. I loved learning about the politics and culture there. Visiting Cuba was also amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach english and love to talk and learn about different cultures around the world. I enjoy cooking rich food - chorizo, haloumi cheese, carbonara pasta - and would love to make a meal for you.
