I'm an American from the great state of Minnesota (of which I'm sure many people are aware...or I could at least hope so) and I currently live in Tbilisi, Georgia. When I’m not working, I’m attempting to learn Georgian and to remember the 15 words I know in Russian. In short, I’m not the most astute language-learner, but I sure love trying.

I moved to Tbilisi in December 2018 and haven't looked back since. Above anything, Georgia is an interesting, constantly changing place that always finds a way to surprise me.

In my spare time, I love the idea of throwing on some running shoes and heading to one of the few places in Tbilisi to workout. Unfortunately, this doesn’t happen often. My favorite place is the old Hippodrome in Saburtalo. I also like spending time at one of the many cafes in the city for a coffee or beer (depending on the hour).

This blurb doesn't say a lot about me, but I look forward to meeting new people while I'm traveling or when I'm here in good ole Tbilisi to give people a chance to get to know me more, and vice versa!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can help people perfect their midwestern accents when they want to repeat a line from Fargo, teach people how to ice-skate, and share a dumb dance in a supermarket.
