CURRENT MISSION

Trying to get to Spain!

ABOUT ME

My name is Jody. I am gay and I am a 29 years old. I am a Spanish teacher, but I want to be able to speak Spanish even better. I am friendly, considerate, clean, patient and respect others. I am usually quiet at first, taking in my surroundings and getting to know people, then I am talkative and witty. I am a great listener, like meeting new people, and I like to laugh. I am a vegetarian and I like red wine.

Hola, soy Jody. Soy gay y tengo 29 años. Soy estadounidense y gay. Soy maestro de español, pero quiero poder mejorar mis habilidades de hablar la lengua. Me considero una persona simpática, paciente, y amable. Al principio, soy un poco tímido, pero poco a poco me amino. Soy respetuoso y limpio. Soy hablador, gracioso, e ingenioso. Soy vegetariano. Me gusta mucho reírme y tomar una copa de vino de vez en cuando. Me gusta conocer gente nueva y culturas nuevas.

PHILOSOPHY

I am true to myself. I walk to the beat of my own drum. Someone once described me as a "free spirit" and someone else argued that I was more of a "directed spirit". I accept people for who and what they are because I know I want that in return.
