Existing is sufficient, life is grand.

Teach, Learn, Share

Isn't this part of what humans are on Earth to do?

What I Can Share with Hosts

A wealth of stories from hitchhiking around every corner of Morocco, and living in Tangier for almost two years. I love cooking, listening, to share, to connect. Life is short, we are human, so lets be humans together for a time and share ourselves if we like and then go our separate ways with smiles.
