ABOUT ME

Well, I just graduated from Boston University). And I somehow managed to graduate with two degrees! (One in English, the other in Painting (And a minor in Printmaking)). And I'm currently living in Ferrol, Galicia, Spain, teaching English to kids/teenagers. And I'm trying to improve my mediocre Spanish everyday and see some more of Spain/Europe. I love to see new places and hear people's stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm an English major... I've probably read it...or at least heard of most books...written in English. Right now, I'm trying to read in Spanish. I love stories in general, of any type.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ummmmm....I'm not too sure. To be honest, I think I put more emphasis on the little quiet moments in life. There's a lot of great moments in my life, to say there are two or three that stand out just doesn't make sense. Some of my favorite moments recently were: having someone throw me a surprise party for the first time, watching the New Year fireworks at Trafalgar Square from a rooftop terrace, trying african drumming for the first time, going to see the Marc Chagall exhibit in Madrid (I'm an artist), watching a movie in spanish without subtitles and understanding most of it, having a student actually take an interest in something I mentioned in class, and drawing for the first time in months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've spent four years studying English, everything from Beowulf to Don DeLillo. So I love to talk about books and can answer many questions about English, especially if you are learning for the first time.
I also somehow managed to get a degree in Painting, so I can teach you how to draw a picture too!
