ABOUT ME

I was born in Milwaukee, lived in New York City for 5 and a half years, Buenos Aires a year, and Quito a year. I´m going to be living in Mexico until next July or August. Then I go back to New York.

I've been an English as a Second Language teacher for 5 years and I love all the different people I meet in my job.

I like to play pool and the harmonica and chess.

I like to wander around cities for hours.

I like to cook. I'm vegetarian.

Me gusta hablar en espanol.

I like to write short stories and poems.

I like immigrants in my country. I want to be an immigration lawyer and help them.

I like to meet new people.

I like the way the sky looks in the Andes before sunset.

I like stories. I like stories people tell me. I like stories in books and movies and songs.

I like nature but I like cities more. I think people are interesting and I like to be around a lot of them.
