CURRENT MISSION Meet NEW PEOPLE! There are NO foreigners in NE Tennessee! Please relieve me! ABOUT ME I need to have international interaction!! Not enough world culture in east TN. Lived in Germany 6 yrs.; met my husband there, travelled around Europe, HK, China, Cameroon. LOVED IT! LOVE foreigners - not boring. I'm an ESL teacher to be more international - looking to move out of country again later. love traveling, dancing, talking (business, politics, environment, art, music, culture, religion). wanted to do "Amazing Race" but hubby isn't American. Love God, people, social interaction. PHILOSOPHY Tactful, open communication will help ALL situations. I don't have much use for people who won't/don't talk. How can I get to know someone or learn about him/her without them saying something? We want people to know that the world is not a bad place, so we opened our home to foster teenagers (now adopted and moved out).

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Jumped from a mountain in a parachute. This is the most daring, but I have seen a lot and done a lot! Looking for an Amazing Race partner!
Teach, Learn, Share
We've traveled a lot - world knowledge. We cook. We eat. We would love to hear more about your cultural experiences, and possibly visit your home, too.
My Interests
not heavy partier, but like music, dancing, karaoke, backpacking, hiking. very practical, social, environmental, health-conscious (tree hugger disguised as teacher). We're both active in the local Arts Council, bringing culture to Rogersville. I brought 43 foreign exchange students to area for the summer. love learning about other cultures and visiting their countries how they live. We both always try to learn new things. ALWAYS. We LOVE playing strategic games (cards or board)
