Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I want a beard and I want you to fear the beard. but alas, i can't grow a beard. I try but to no avail.
ABOUT ME
I am an educator of all things life. I love to learn and love to listen. I have had the travel itch my entire life and after conquering North America, I went down to Central and South America. Since then things went awry and I tried desperately for years to get back out of the country.
I was finally able to pull myself out of a rut and move to Thailand and I haven't been happier. I have glorious friends courtesy of couchsurfing and a wonderful support network.
I am teaching at a college in Chiang Mai, Thailand and have plans to be here for quite some time. Teaching as well as reading and writing are huge passions of mine. I enjoy writing short satirical stories, often the same story from multiple points of view.
I live pretty simply and try not to leave a footprint where I walk. All I wish is to learn as much about others as I possibly can.
I am addicted to nature. I find it to inspire greatness
also addicted to leo tolstoy, Nietzche, Sherman Alexie, and double stuffed oreos
PHILOSOPHY
I live and give my life to make others happy and to in turn be happy with myself.
