Overview
About Me
I live in Nizwa, Oman, where I teach English at a local college. I have lived here for more than 7 years. Before that, I lived abroad in Saudi Arabia and two years in South Korea. I love travel and living abroad.

Music, Movies, and Books
I read everything. Am a movie addict, so am constantly looking for new movies.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've lived abroad for more than 10 years now. I had a Masters in English for more than 10 years that I never used. One day, made the leap and the adventure is continuing.
Teach, Learn, Share
I know only English, though I have a handful of words and phrases in a half dozen languages. Oddly, language has rarely been an issue in the nearly 10 years of living abroad, nor 8 years of living in South Florida (Miami) where the native tongue seemed to be Spanish.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share a lot of experience from living and traveling in many countries. I have many stories and misadventures to share. I live alone with an extra bedroom that can accommodate 1-3, depending on the group. Always love hearing the stories of fellow travelers.
