Currently teaching middle school history, while spending my free time exploring film, running, and literature.

A little about me:

I'm fascinated by books, film, writing, music - overall, Art is what keeps me going. I drink too much coffee for my own good. To me, the finest thing life has to offer is conversation. Just simple, no bullshit, down-to-earth-eye-to-eye-in-person conversation.

Unfortunately, I do not have a Facebook, and although I typically ignore the flack my friends give me about being away from Social Media, now I'm beginning to understand that maybe it's a good idea to join. I hope not having a Facebook doesn't deter travelers and hosts from getting to know me and potentially hosting me.

I'd be happy to show you some of our museums, cinemas, book stores, beaches, coffee shops, and anything else you may have on your list.
