I am in love with the world! I have spent most my life traveling within the expansive United States, now I am working on getting to know the rest of the world. My next scheduled adventures for this year are San Francisco and surrounding wine country, Southern France, and Portugal.

Books: "Zen, Wrapped in Karma, Dipped in Chocolate", "Four Hour Workweek", "Transcend"
Music: I have very eclectic tastes. Rock (old and new), Jazz, Electronica, Downtempo, Funk, Disco, Big Band. Give me a good beat to dance to, or a soulful or crooning voice to listen to.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will gladly help you with your English, and any assistance you can offer with my French would be tres bon! Also, if you want to travel in the United States, I can certainly offer advice on many areas, and if we connect, perhaps you can couch surf at my beautiful home in Central Florida (paradise on Earth in many ways).
