Description
Hi! I'm Sean. I am from the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. I love to travel and I really enjoy meeting new people from different cultures and learning new languages. I am very kind, easy going and accommodating. I like to make new friends from around the world and exchange ideas and knowledge.
My main objective is learn new languages and exchange cultural experiences such as different types of food or customs and traditions.
I can speak Spanish and Portugues at an intermediate level, and I am very interested to have someone help me to learn Mandarin.
I love music of all types and I like to play guitar and drums, so I appreciate other musicians.
I am self-employed and I have a range of knowledge and experience and I really like exchanging ideas and skills.

I do appreciate help with general household cleaning and cooking, house construction and mechanical projects and I do auto repairing and painting, so there's always something to do or learn!
