About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Teaching English and meeting as many interesting people as possible.

ABOUT ME

Citizen of the world trying to get an international career going. I love traveling more than anything, either with friends or solo. Aspiring amateur travel photographer/blogger, graphic designer, and lover of all things music and art-related. Avid reader and shameless nerd.

PHILOSOPHY

Each person has a story to tell, each place is full of unique experiences, and we only have a small time on a big Earth... so engage with as much of it as possible!

Music, Movies, and Books

Way too long a list... currently obsessed with the free public domain books available for my newly-acquired Kindle. HG Wells is my man of the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snorkeling with giant manta rays in Hawaii was pretty cool. That something so large and menacing-looking is actually so tame and easygoing is a great metaphor for not judging a book by its cover.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're going for a summer day hike in Maine, remember to wear shoes and a shirt, because getting lost and having to spend the cold night awake tending a fire in only shorts and flip-flops is rather uncomfortable.
