Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French (maybe not perfectly) or at least practice it with you! I am learning Spanish and always looking for more practice. I can share travel stories and am always looking to hear more! I would like to learn how to sew and cook better, those domestic activities I kinda skipped over.
