ABOUT ME

I'm 32 and have a Bachelor's in English and English as a Second Language.
I love traveling and meeting people from all different walks of life
I am the least judgmental and most open minded person you will ever meet.

New York Yankees baseball
Heavy Metal
I write lyrics, poetry, and short stories frequently
I love anything that has to do with the outdoors.
I have 12 tattoos
I have a weird infatuation with zombies/apocalypse/plagues/abandoned buildings/things of this nature
I am a Ron Paul supporter through and through
I love languages and trying to communicate to someone in their native tongue
I'm probably one of the palest/whitest dudes you will meet
I am always down for a nice, cold, refreshing beer :)

PHILOSOPHY

Death isn't the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss in life is what dies inside of us while we still live

You never step into the same river twice- Heraclitus

Meeting people is one of my favorite parts about life. You're always coming across people from different walks of life everyday and I love hearing people's stories and their personal philosophies

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met a couple people from here and it was great. Since I live in Moscow now, there are weekly/monthly Couchsurfing meetups and hangouts, so I've been able to meet some really interesting and cool people from all over

教，学，和分享

I have a degree in English and English as a Second Language. I love languages, music, sports, philosophy, and everything in between. I'm an Eagle Scout and have a vast knowledge of first aid skills and wilderness and outdoor skills as well.

Love playing the guitar

A vast canyon of useless sports statistics knowledge

I know many card and magic tricks. My students in the Czech Republic started calling me "The Magician" after the first week because of the card tricks and illusions, so I can teach you some of them
