CURRENT MISSION

to grow.

ABOUT ME

I'm Tania. I would classify myself as a wanderer. I will forever be infatuated with words, people, and nature. I like telling (bad) puns. I sleep a lot for a morning person. I hope to have my own little apartment someday.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness and honesty are the two highest virtues in this world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited Paris. Sounds pretty lame, but that was my first plane ride and I was ecstatic about doing it all on my own. (I'm working on doing a thing more amazing than that!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about literature or Canada - and I'm sure there are various other arenas I have knowledge in that I can't think of right now (bad memory) :P

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help you practice your English, or even teach you English, if you ask! English is my native language and I'm also a grad student in English Literature, so... that's a double bonus (sort of).

Oh, and I can also share my friendliness. Making friends is fun around ninety percent of the time, right?
