Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you different things - from dancing to handicrafts making (origami, jewelry, painting), sports (skating, skiing, rollerblading) and English. I would like to learn about the traditional forms of art in the countries I'm traveling through, as well as the language. The current socio-political issues in the respective country are also of interest to me.
