I'm Anna. I caught the travel bug from my mum when I was little, she took me on a trip I'll never forget to France and the U.K.
I like hearing people talk about things they are passionate about.
I'm easygoing and adventurous. :)

PHILOSOPHY:

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
~ Albert Camus

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 7 months traveling and I've hitchhiked about 5000km solo, across three different countries, on two continents.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to exchange interesting ideas, share stories, relate experiences, and learn about new perspectives.

If you have a car I can show you how to do an oil change ;)

I'd like to improve my French and learn Spanish.

I want to learn to play ukulele.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a few recipes that I'm happy to make (and clean up after), I also enjoy cooking experiments for anyone willing to be a Guinea pig.
I've made chocolate self-saucing pudding, cheesecake, cream cheese brownies, salads, and white wine spaghetti carbonara (no powder mix).

I have stories to share and ears to listen.
