Teach, Learn, Share

I know Russian, could probably make you the best American style cheeseburger ever, and I'm an amateur mixologist - I can talk Tiki drinks and history with you for hours if need be :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some life lessons or business insights- depending on what sector you work in. I've learned a lot traveling to over 40 countries in my life but there is still so much to learn.
