Personal DescriptionAll about me:
What can I say? Well, I'm definitely the sort of person who finds it hard to talk about themselves! I enjoy learning about other cultures, but I suppose that's a given since I'm hanging around these parts. I've discovered in my previous travels that you really get the best feel for a place when you get in touch with the locals and see how they live first-hand.
Back home I'm a teacher who dabbles in a bit of stand-up comedy. My favourite sport is soccer and I play it as often as I can. Also, after having done 2 tours of duty at a high adventure summer camp in the United State of North Carolina, I have a taste for things like rock climbing, white water rafting, mountain biking and other general outdoorsy stuff. I'm by no means an expert at any of these activities, but that doesn't stop me from having a go.
Lastly, but perhaps most importantly on a site like this, I'm a clean and tidy non-smoker who is easy to get along with and enjoys hanging out and having a chat.How I Participate in CS2Because I'm on the road at the moment, I will, unfortunately be just a taker at this stage.

About the only people I can't stand are those who refuse to listen to any viewpoint that is contradictory to their own. (Is it hypocritical to be intolerant of intolerance?)Teach, Learn, ShareI like to bore people senseless with the Latin roots of words and useless trivia like how Yeardly Smith originally went for the role of Bart but ended up with Lisa instead. Oh, and did you know that the word trivia orginates from the Latin words tri (meaning 3) and via (meaning street)? Apparently there was an intersection in Rome where people would got to find things out grapevine style. Interesting, no? No.One Amazing Thing I've Seen or DoneA few months ago I was in Chile and climbed Villaricca an honest to goodness active volcano. The climb practically killed me, but seeing actual lava spew forth from the earth made it all worthwhile.Locations TraveledTRAVELED: Argentina, Chile, Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Poland, United Kingdom, United States
