ABOUT ME

I enjoy meeting new people from all around the world. I like to show them the city of Chicago when I have the time. I am off during the summer months so I have more time to show the city then. Teaching inner city students with special needs is my passion. I am still adventurous and I love the outdoors. I love traveling with my son, when I am out of school during the summer months. We enjoy camping around the US, skiing, sailing and visiting other countries. We live next to the Hyde Park neighborhood in Chicago, 2km from President Obama. We love this neighborhood because of the University of Chicago the area is a mixture of people from all around the world.
