One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a polar bear in Svalbard. It was very far away though.

Teach, Learn, Share

I make good vegetarian comfort food, and I'm very crafty. I'm also a tutor.

I'm pretty phenomenal at the card game Set. If you can beat me at it, I promise to buy you all your beer for the duration of my stay.
