About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Figuring out what to do next.

ABOUT ME

I've just spent 2 years teaching English and ICT in Georgia, the country, not the US state. The kids have been great (albeit lazy) and my family is like my own, except I pay them. So this is what paying people to be your friends feels like.

Anyway, I'm working on wrapping things up (US gov't = 10,000 tons of red tape) and then I'm going on an adventure through UAE and Thailand until early August. At which point I myself will be on a couch for a month or so.

PHILOSOPHY

Living conscientiously is the most basic vital element to living a good life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

That said, what I can currently offer is travel advice for Georgia. My couch is off limits until I get a stable situation.

Interests

Languages rock my world, and goofy, geeky, yet classy artsy things make the world a better place. Also making grilled cheese and tomato soup and anything involving lentils. Eating ice cream. Singing and dancing. Figuring stuff out, or overthinking it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am not a TV watcher by any means, but I just got crazy into Mad Men.

Teach, Learn, Share

Shareable: basic sewing, greeting and/or toasting in Georgian, original Pokemon names and evolutions, cookie baking, basic liqueur making, painting on things, singing

To learn: How to say "ice cream" in as many languages as possible. How to make your favorite food ever.
