About Me

Stuff things and whatnots.

I'm not Arab or Turkish.. People usually think so.

I'm an American that has traveled widely in Arabia and Asia. I'm an anthropology, archeology major but teach English now.

I'm a simple mostly quiet guy. I don't really like clubs or loud places so meeting for coffee is excellent for me.

Umm... You can ask about the rest lol

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think it was the Taj Mahal. I have seen the great wall in china, Christo in Brazil, but they do not seem to give that real "wow" factor. The Taj however was a breath taking moment. The first few was as the sun was going down over Agra, and we went to the rooftop resaurant. POW! AWESOME.

It was also amazing doing the Alaska Highway. Good nature n' stuff.
