One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once went on a hike during the fall, near my home. there was a moment where my friends and I rounded a corner on the trail, and came upon a valley of fire, filled with gold, yellow, orange, green and red. My jaw dropped at the sheer beauty of what was before me. The most amazing moments I have had, have been in nature.
I get to volunteer with an experiential school, working with middle school-high school aged kids! This involves lots of outdoor activities such as climbing, hiking, backpacking and camping! Sometimes a little language translation too! ask me about it!
Teach, Learn, Share
I am a certified climbing wall instructor (USA) and have experience teaching children and adults techniques and skills for indoor and outdoor rock climbing. I'm always happy to discuss/teach or just climb.
I wish to learn about creating a more sustainable lifestyle for myself, and the people around me.
Open to learn and share.
My Spanish still needs practice, so any opportunity to speak spanish would be amazing!
I am currently very serious about learning German, however, am a beginner, and would love to practice or find a tandem language exchange partner.
Plant knowledge/love for plants!!!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Positive outlook, gardening enthusiasm, smiles, and not afraid to do a couple chores. I am always willing to share experiences and generally love good conversation. I also make a mean latte, or coffee for that matter ;) I also might make goofy faces and sometimes they're good for a laugh.
