CURRENT MISSION

...Travel like there's no tomorrow!!.....

ABOUT ME

I left the US 5+ years ago to live in Quito, Ecuador. I have no plans to return to the US. I like different cultures. I like meeting people and having conversations about any and every thing. I need different experiences, therefore I travel as much as I can. Again....I NEED the new and different experiences that can only come from travel...and meeting people that have a love for and need for travel like I do. Quito is unique....9250 ft in the Andes Mts but practically on the Equator. It's Springtime all the time here! Plus...the city is surrounded by volcanoes! (Makes life more exciting!!) I love it and don't plan to leave....except to travel!

PHILOSOPHY

My life philosophy: continue to learn, experience and help others. Life is TOO short so LIVE every minute! Enjoy!

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I'm a native English speaker I like 'helping' others who want to improve their English language skills. I also study Spanish and welcome any help with the learning experience. I also teach a beginning English class and enjoy it.
