Born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in Charleston, SC, I'm the father of two Beautiful, intelligent and compassionate girls (8- and 3-years-old). My full name is pronounced ah-ZEEK-way, and my nickname, “Zik” is pronounced Zeek. I'm a lifelong learner and educator striving to be the change he wishes to see in the world. I learned Italian while studying in Rome, and Spanish while teaching as a Peace Corps volunteer in Nicaragua. I've led experiential learning expeditions for high school and college age travelers to 17 countries on 6 continents, and have taught in South Korea, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Venezuela, and Kuwait. I'm currently teaching middle school math at Country Day School in Costa Rica.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I know the best way to explore and really get to know a place is through the people who live there, and I really love meeting and building with like minded world changers!
