Teach, Learn, Share
I have some experience trekking and mountain biking through the Amazon, the Andes and the coastal desert of Peru. Quite verse in Latin American literature, Asia Pacific issues and I am always willing to learn (that's why I am doing a PhD x)
What I Can Share with Hosts
Pretty good stories on how to survive downhill biking on the Andes without breaking any bone
