ABOUT ME

I'm the son of a diplomat, now taking a year off after high school. Currently I am working at a boarding school in Madaba, Jordan, thoroughly enjoying life here. I'll be travelling around the Middle East during vacations, learning Arabic, and exploring Amman. My life abroad has taught me respect for other cultures and compassion for other people. I am very laid back, but certainly have a mission to do good in life - that path is constantly changing. My three passions at the moment are art, social justice, and the environment, all of which I'm having fun exploring in many different ways.

Vegetarian!

PHILOSOPHY

It is better to ask forgiveness than permission.
