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 countries and cultures and learning new languages. I am kind, easy going and accommodating. I like to make new friends from around the world and exchange ideas and knowledge.
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 as well.
I am self-employed and I have a range of knowledge and experience and I like sharing ideas and skills.
