About Me

^_^

Laidback dude from California who loves meeting people from other countries. I’ve briefly lived in 🇨🇿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇺🇦, 🇩🇪 for about 10 months, and 🇵🇱 for a year.

I am eternally grateful and humble that I have made my dream a reality and moved to Berlin, in February! I'm always wanting to explore new places and revisit countries and cities that I fell in love with. Acro, comedy, music, baseball, hockey, Yoga, bicycles, snowboarding, skiing, body boarding, going to shows, movies, exploring new places, embracing nature with friends and having an open heart and mind are what I strive to be!

PHILOSOPHY

"It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement-that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life."

I live for the underdog.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen:
Seeing and living in Ukraine for a 8 week period during the start of the Maidon Revolution was life changing! .

Done:
The most amazing thing that I’ve done was live as an immigrant in Poland. I gained a new perspective for anyone immigrating to a new country. Poland changed my perspective, from embracing and realizing the daily struggles of immigrant life, to learning a new language and finding work, you soon discover a lot about yourself and what “home” means to you.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to teach people that not all Americans are ignorant, fat, stupid, and bad at languages!

Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Puerto Rico, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Vatican City State
