CURRENT MISSION

If I can wake up in some random country and order a beer in the local language then we're good.

ABOUT ME

I started traveling at an early age. My father's military service jetted my family all over different parts of Japan. Our constant moves gave me a bit of wanderlust to the point that I could never stand being in the same place for too long. Now that I'm all grown up and finishing up school, time's getting closer for me to start looking abroad and seeing where the road takes me. My current job is Senior Resident Adviser in the International Dormitory at the University of Kentucky, where I spend my days hanging out with some of coolest, most fascinating people from across the globe. I love foreign languages and want to devote my life to studying as many as I can. My dream is to wander the world teaching English in exchange for learning about the all the cultures and languages this world has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

There are few things in this world a person can't achieve with a stubborn nature, a desire to do/be better, and some close friends backing you up.

Favorite Quotes:

"God is a comedian playing to an audience afraid to laugh."- Voltaire

Pretty much anything Bob Marley had to say about Life and Love...maybe a little bit of what Ziggy had to say too.

"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, completely trashed, saying "Holy Shit! What a ride!"- A Smart Man.

兴趣

I love learning new things, meeting new people, and exploring places I've never been before. In my free time I enjoy studying foreign languages, going to the gym, and having a drink with some close friends while we laugh about the finer things in life.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've been lucky enough to see enough to see some of the world. I've been able to visit, live, and work in places where I could meet some of those most amazing people from around the globe and call them my friends. I think there are few moments in life that can top those.

I love languages. I want nothing more then to learn as many languages as my brain will allow. I am more then willing to help anyone who has a similar desire to master English.
