A soon to be retired Park Ranger at Grand Canyon National Park , I have recently become TEFL Certified and am looking to move to Prague and reset life for a bit. First I would like to cross something off my bucket list, and that is to travel across the EU. Destinations to hit include: Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Berlin & Prague. My hobbies and interests include: Hiking, running, reading, retro gaming, exploring cities and drinking good coffee and beer.
