Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about new cultures and connecting with people everywhere. I took Japanese for three years and don't practice it often but can communicate some basics and would like to take it up again.
I love trying new foods! I enjoy cooking food I know but also learning new recipes and eating them!
If you're in my area I'd love to show you around outside, I run, ski, and backpack often. I'm passionate about social and environmental advocacy and justice. I have made small changes in my life and I want to live more sustainably for the people on this earth and for our earth herself. Let's talk about it!
I'm currently living in a Prius I built out myself, saving up money and ideas for when I can move into a bigger van and eventually build a sustainable tiny home.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, stories, a love of books, learning, and the outdoors. And beer?! Or we could do some art!
