One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got lost with 2 friends in a jungle while trying to map the area for other backpackers.

We named a path to be the Butterfly Walk for the herd of pretty butterflies flying around. A path is "Kaka" as that is how we called each other in the dense jungle in the easy-tobe-lost path.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to spend time with people who are passionate about life and what they do. Tell me anything that keeps you wake up all night and rise early in the morning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I make amazing spring rolls, pesto, meatballs among other things.

A hard-core foodie, I can make Vietnamese, Japanese, Italian, and Thai food and tell you the right way to eat sushi. You have to start with white fish, pickled ginger is to be eaten between pieces not at the same time. Never start with spicy rolls first. It ruins everything.

Ok, I am an admitted food snob but friends let me get away with it because I am fun to be around. If you catch me smiling for no good reasons, don't try asking why. I am entertaining myself in my head a little too much.
