ABOUT ME

Great guest: super clean, respectful, quiet (but not awkward). I'm a teacher/writer by trade. I've lived in France, Netherlands, Mexico, Germany, and throughout the U.S. I speak French fluently, Spanish serviceable, and enough Dutch/German for the novelty. I enjoy books, film, music, productive exchanges of ideas, and a few other hundreds of thousands of things. It's my life goal to say at least 'hello' to everyone on the planet...
Many thanks, cheers, hugs, smiles, hi-fives, and good vibes.

PHILOSOPHY

Be confident with what you know; skeptical with what you think you know; and, humble with the rest.
