Travel information

I am currently

Activities i am interested in:

When traveling. I enjoy hiking, visiting landmarks, learning the local history, and immersing myself in the culture as much as possible.

Description

I am a 24 year old, born in Pennsylvania, but I am currently living in New York. So far I've only ever been out of the country once before, and that was on a trip to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.

I am an experienced English teacher and I have a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification. So I would be more than happy to help with English! I am University graduate. I have a bachelors degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Public Administration.

In general, I am a very laid back, contemplative, thinker type of human. I enjoy thinking about everything and anything. However I am also a hard worker, and I enjoy the thrill and satisfaction of performing and completing a difficult task. Additionally, I'd say that I'm a very adaptable and flexible person who is always willing to learn something new!

My favorite hobbies and pastimes are generally hiking, camping, photography, reading books, watching tv shows and movies, language learning, and learning as much as I can about history or science. Including family history! I have a lot of experience with genealogical research if you would like help/advice with researching your family history as well.
