Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach and share bicycle mechanics, vegan cooking, knitting, and probably some stuff that's not coming to mind at the moment.

If you're willing, I'd really appreciate learning/practicing basic Spanish, dance steps, more advanced bike mechanics, and guitar.

As beautiful as the idea of a CS University and skillsharing is, I also want to stress that a thoughtful and courteous couch-surfer who just needs to crash at our place doesn't need to feel pressured to perform. :)
