One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most amazing moments. when I experienced the openness and acceptance and lack of judging of some of the artists and volunteers at the gaywise cross-arts festival in London where I was volunteering. Which stood in screaming contrast to the romantic relationship I had just come from.

Hearing the laughter of one of my au pair children who couldn't speak at the age of five, while I was helping him do the tai chi in the park with a group of people we had just met there.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I can offer.. I am most the kind-hearted guest you could get. I like to share stories and life experiences. I am direct but discreet which I think is a good foundation to avoid or solve conflicts. I speak fluent German and English and am not bad (very slow however) in French. I am sociable. Like to talk, cook, explore, stroll around or hang out with people, and I love dancing of any sort. I am curious about the world and love to learn new things, get to know new languages and cultures. That's what I can think of so far.
