One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few interesting things:

-Shark cage diving
-Lived in the Ecuadorian Amazon for a year, and helped lead tours in caves next to my community

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn more about the local culture, language, music and food of the places I visit.

I speak Spanish, some Arabic, I like to boulder (am in the process of learning how to rock climb - top rope).
I used to bake a lot (although having a dairy allergy meant I had to relearn some recipes), and it’s still one of my hobbies, breakfast foods and cinnamon rolls are some of my go-tos.
