CURRENT MISSION

To wander and not be lost!

ABOUT ME

Hi! My name's Daniel and I'm 30 years old. I was born and raised in Hillsborough County, Fl, to native-Floridian parents. Since the age of 10, I've been incredibly interested in foreign countries and cultures. This began with my 5th Grade teacher who spoke German in front of the class, this was the first foreign language I decided to study! Since then I've studied other languages, to at least a beginners level. Spanish, Italian, French, Hebrew, Polish, Russian and Dutch!

German is my second language and from February of 2010 to February of 2011 I lived in Wegberg, a small town in Germany near to the Dutch border, where I worked as an Au-Pair.

I think Florida is a great place, but it's my hope to one day immigrate to somewhere in Europe, Germany or one of the Benelux countries.

PHILOSOPHY

I think the most important thing in life is to not take anything too seriously. Going with the flow is something that I take very personally!
