Description

Learning and teaching motivates me! Love discovering things from people that I didn't previously know. I want to know what motivates others to do what they do in their lives and what inspires them to help others and make the world a better place. Happiness is new adventures and discoveries and connections. Reciprocal relations

More details about my language interests
Would love to learn Spanish and become more fluent in French through immersion. This could include books and movies, or conversation circles. My family is French so I understand it very well, and have experience translating and working in French speaking offices. Speaking is a little slower and I am eager to teach basics as a way to help myself learn.

What else ...

I forgot to mention in my experience that I have worked with young children with autism, and older people with dementia and Alzheimers. I've also worked as a seamstress, and in a greenhouse.

I play cards (can set up a mean poker game), LOVE karaoke, recently got into bouldering and foraging for mushrooms, enjoy writing poetry and have led workshops on this, and would love to learn how to play instruments. Interested in frolicking around in nature. Every where I go I'm really just trying to find my way to the next mountain to climb or body of water to swim in.

Never want to miss a sunset, thunderstorm or rainbow.
