CURRENT MISSION

To be perpetually amazed

ABOUT ME

I was born in Rochester, New York and attended university in Providence, Rhode Island. I graduated in May but am still trying to figure out my future. I am currently living in Guadix, Spain and teaching English in a high school here. Guadix is a quiet little town, so I'm eager to make some new friends and have some adventures through couchsurfing!

PHILOSOPHY

For this section, I will type a speech that I gave to my students on the first day of class:

Por qué debemos aprender otra lengua? Pués, hay muchas respuestas, muchas razones. Es mucho más fácil y admás más divertido viajar si puedes hablar la lengua. Para mí, viajar es una de las cosas más divertidas y más importantes del mundo, y de cierto modo es el propósito de la vida: explorar tu mundo, conocer a gente nueva, gente con vidas muy differentes que tuyas.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know three really good card tricks I'd be happy to teach you:

The first is very easy to execute as long as you understand the concept behind it.

The second requires sleight of hand and must be practiced.

The third is actually magic.
