CURRENT MISSION

See the world without being a tourist

ABOUT ME

I'm very interested in history and most of the conversations I get into are pretty weak on pop culture. I was sitting at a bar with some new friends in Belgrade last night wishing I'd watched more Simpsons as they took turns talking about different episodes. I'm also pretty weak on sports, though I love to watch live sports and to play all kinds of sports and physical activity. I love to play guitar (poorly) and dance (poorly). I majored in International Relations and just finished my M.S. in the same. I lived in Madrid for a semester during undergrad, and in Nicaragua for about six months after I graduated. I love to travel and meet new people and help increase understanding and hopefully break down some of the preconceptions people have about people from other countries.

PHILOSOPHY

Get born, keep warm, short pants, romance, learn to dance, get dressed, get blessed try to be a success, please her, please him, buy gifts, don't steal, don't lift, 20 years of school and then they put you on the day shift.
