CURRENT MISSION

To travel to every country, meet every person, speak every language, eat every food, and dial every phone.

ABOUT ME

I'm doing an apprenticeship now, still trying decide whats going to happen after that. I'm into languages and politics. When I'm not at work or at school, I like swimming, kayaking, biking, and basketball [I'm not very good at basketball]

I have aspirations to travel anywhere and everywhere.

PHILOSOPHY

This might sound too idealistic, but I think as human beings, we should all live together in peace and solidarity. I see all of humanity as my brothers and sisters.

But I also realize some people are jerks and you need to be tough with them. I am a walking contradiction in that sense.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most movies I see, if someone puts all that time and effort into a movie soley for my entertainment, I appreciate that and therefore, I never say a movie is bad. My taste in music is fairly eclectic, however I do like rock, jazz, trance, as well as r&b.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught English in Mexico, China, and Taiwan. This is cliche' but I really do think I learned more from my students than they learned from me.

The Russian word for potato is the same as the German word for potato: Kartoffel
