Teach, Learn, Share

I am currently trying to learn chinese, i attempted italian last year and my French needs a lot of improvement,

I love learning new things! and be prepared- if you stay too long I have a tendency to make people make art or crafts with me.

I also Love to cook vegetarian food and if you come stay with me, you're in for a meal. I'm on a mission to prove to people that vegetarian food is healthy and delicious. (even though I'm only a best effort vegetarian or sometimes not at all)
