About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To fight the good fight.

ABOUT ME

I am currently working as a volunteer with the Peace Corps serving in Lushnja, Albania. Peace Corps is a humanitarian organization funded by the US government that works with many developing countries around the world.

I work mostly with health promotion at the Regional Directory of Health in Lushnja, but will also do some work in other areas such as teaching English and gender development. Our work is mostly going to be with the schools inside the city and in the villages nearby.

I like to have a good time.. love meeting and talking to new people and drinking a beer or three. I love to travel and have visited a lot of the US and Western Europe but currently my traveling has been restricted to only within Albania. I've been almost all over Albania at this point so I can give and offer some fairly decent knowledge of what to do and where to go.

PHILOSOPHY

For the time being I feel like I'm living my life in order to figure out how to life my life. And I realize that probably makes as little sense to you as it does to me.
