ABOUT ME

I am an American English teacher, recently moved to st. Petersburg, after 10 years in Prague, it's quite a change and I really like it :) I am 54, mostly act about half that age! so I tend to have a lot of younger friends

I teach at a language school and have mostly kids as students ..... oh and occasionally still work as a massage therapist.

I like small groups of people rather than big ones.. enjoy interesting conversations and can talk forever with the right people

people always tell me they feel at ease around me

PHILOSOPHY

no matter where you go, there you are
