Music, Movies, and Books
Any and every.Movies- Coen brothers, Tarantino, Kubrick, etc. Books- Ayn Rand, Dostoevsky, Camus and also Erich Segal. Don't have so much of an ear for music though. Am uncouth that ways and would welcome an initiation into that.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Went Rock Climbing with the University Mountaineering Club. Was a little scared but loved it by the end. Had to stay in temporary tents and cook our own food for 3 days. Loved the experience. A certified Advanced Level climber now.
Another time, went river rafting in Rishikesh. That was a lot of fun too. Most recently crashed a Buddhist monastery in Odisha. That's a nice story.
Teach, Learn, Share
I was an English Language Instructor, so I guess I could pitch in with a lesson or two.
Rock Climbing Instructor.
I did a little Japanese, Portuguese and some Spanish at the University. Would love to brush up on them.
What I Can Share with Hosts
My home and car/motorcycle/bicycle. and 2 (wo)man tent. Time, mostly on the weekends, but can dodge work if there's something interesting on the anvil. The place I am staying in now is very rich in forest cover with streams and waterfalls interspersed. Ideal for hiking and camping.
