CURRENT MISSION

I just want to be able to tell my grandchildren I was awesome.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy knitting. And short stories.

Right now I'm teaching English in Russia, while trying to learn Russian myself. It's a pretty amazing lifestyle.
I admire photography of all types and love to take photos myself. I spend my free time watching all the things, wandering around, shopping or preparing/eating creative dinners with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Make good choices.
