One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Peace Corps Volunteer - TEFL (English Teacher) in Kumanovo
Social and Emotional educator
History teacher

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a reluctant teacher of history and more interested in showing the path. I like teaching how to appreciate music and art.

I'm interesting in learning languages and culture (music, art) of other places, I like learning about how social systems work. Also if you can help me become a better bike mechanic that'd be cool.

I like to share music, books and stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I have an instrument I can jam with you. If you have one I can probably learn it decently enough to get a tune or two going. I can do emergency sewing, cook (Macedonian, vegetarian) food, and clean.
