One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In Mexico City, a group of friends and I decided to connect with our community in a simple yet meaningful way: offering hugs to strangers. Together, we shared this gesture with over 150 people. The experience profoundly changed how I see strangers, showing me that a small act of vulnerability can create a powerful connection. It also deepened my understanding of the power of touch as a universal way to bridge divides and foster empathy.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am a lifelong learner, eager to absorb knowledge from every encounter. I can discuss the nuances of human rights, and delve into deep conversations about religion and philosophy. I also enjoy teaching how acts of love and kindness can effect positive change in our world. Let's exchange stories, skills, and perspectives to enrich each other's lives.
What I Can Share with Hosts
As a guest, I bring a spirit of camaraderie and respect. I can offer engaging conversations, share my experiences from various adventures, and perhaps cook a meal together—I'm known to whip up a decent spaghetti dinner. While I have a penchant for humor, including the occasional "yo-mama" joke, I always ensure it's in good taste and context. Above all, I aim to create a pleasant and memorable experience for my hosts, leaving their space as clean and welcoming as I found it.
