About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn Spanish, and to use it to understand this continent just a bit more.

ABOUT ME

Hablo español, y voy a tradujir mi profile pronto!

I am a very enthusiastic learner, and I love hearing about pretty much every subject. I love listening to peoples passions, professions, and interests. I have been playing guitar for 10 years. I also love playing new instruments, and I have spent time learning the tablas, drum set, and piano.

I love cooking, exercising, reading, and playing sports, and playing my guitar.

I practice yoga most days. My mother is a yoga teacher, and she gave me some of the knowledge that she holds.

PHILOSOPHY

With Gorilla gone, will there be any hope for man?
