CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people and travel to interesting places

ABOUT ME

Steve: I am a law student at Washington University in Saint Louis. I'm sort of a nomad as I've lived in 7 states in as many years (PA, VT, VA, MA, NH, CT, and MO). My political philosophy and my tastes tend towards the medieval (or at least the somewhat old-fashioned). I think I was probably just born on the wrong continent in the wrong century.

Janet: I am a high school Spanish teacher. I enjoy travelling, spending time with friends, meeting new people, bookstores, learning new languages, and all things Spanish. We want to meet you, so come to St. Louis!

PHILOSOPHY

anti-war, anti-state, anti-egalitarian; OR

pro-peace, pro-liberty, pro-human

Interests

(Janet) I love learning languages! English is my native language, Spanish was my first foreign language, I've also studied Latin, French and Italian(very briefly), and German. I would love to learn Romanian. I also play rec league softball, coach lower school cheerleading, and I like video games, especially Zelda, the Sims, and Heroes of Might and Magic III (the newer ones aren't as fun).

(Steve) I'm interested in travelling (obviously), golf, movies, debating politics, MarioKart Wii, and the occasional (okay, frequent) scotch. I love to argue just for the sake of arguing, but I don't take things personally, so please don't worry.
