ABOUT ME

I am a Senior spending the majority of my time taking French and Spanish classes. (I love languages.) I am an energetic person who loves to laugh and sit around talking. I also love to go out with friends and have a good time, usually involving lots of dancing and drinks. I dont smoke unless Im REALLY drunk, however back home I do smoke an occasional cigar. I get along with all types of people. I LOVE to meet new people, especially people from different places. If you speak another language, I will immediately want to know more about you. Im not a hard person to be around. My favorite thing to do is EAT! The way to my heart, perhaps? I also like to dance (as mentioned above), play volleyball, sing my heart out, travel to new places (and old places), see new things, act silly, do odd things and normal things. As you can see, I like to do lots.

It is one of my life time goals to live in France, to live in the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean. So perhaps you have gathered I like warm climates... which is NOT Asheville :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

~The most amazing thing I have done lately was honk Napoleon's nose at the Admiralty Arch in London. I mean really, how many people can reach that nose? Its like 10ft off the ground!
~I once woke up with a spider on my face and just brushed it off.
~I got robbed of 20pound in London by a tooth-less, home-less man and wound up with someone else's phone, to whom I shortly returned.
~Me and my friend sat in Parc Guell and just listened to a flamenco player play the guitar for an hour. Most amazing feeling I've felt in a while.
~I laid in a field of daffodils. It was fabulous!
~Participated in a FlashFreezeMob in Angers. If you've ever done one, you know how I felt.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love culture: end of story. I enjoy meeting others with different cultures and experiencing bits of pieces of how they work. I then take that into account and further my "study" of culture. I have been exposed to many different types of people (French, UKers, German, Swiss, Latin American and South American, Spanish, Australian, Chinese, Korean, and plenty more) and know how they function.

Austria, Bahamas, Canada, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Saint Lucia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Turks and Caicos Islands, United Kingdom, Vatican City State
