ABOUT ME

Teaching English in Turkey (current).

I'm currently a student that's studying abroad in the Middle-East (Spring 2008).

Describing myself in text is oversimplified; however, I do love meeting and greeting new people from around the world, because it has made me a better human being.

PHILOSOPHY

Kindness is a transparent throughout all cultures.

Traveling has made me a more compassionate and considerate person.
