About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have an adventure.

ABOUT ME

Well first and foremost, I am not very good at capturing myself in a blurb. I am setting out on an adventure with my best friend, Kent. Neither of us have been out to Western Europe before and we are looking to meet new people and submerge ourselves within the culture of each country we visit. Tourist attractions are cool, but we are looking to see the parts of Europe that only people who live there get to.

We are probably two of the most easy going people you could ever meet and are just as content sleeping in a king size bed as we are in the yard behind your house. We love to laugh and joke and will watch ANY movie.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Have an open mind, try new things. Have fun. Set out time to think and write.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ghostbusters is my favorite! I am also into almost anything that is weird and creative. I love horror films.

I listen to everything from Duran Duran to Marilyn Manson.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I'm not exactly sure what I could teach. I am an English teacher, no one likes to hear what I have to say, but if you would like to have me grade some essays or compositions for you...no problem.
