Description

Hello! Well... to start I'd say I am a pretty easy going guy. I have been told I can be very social, I'm good at talking to people, very adaptable, and overall very easy to get along with.
Above everything I love to travel. I think i have travelled a lot, but I find that with each new place I go to I hear about three more. I feel that the world just keeps getting bigger.... and one thing I'm working on is telling myself that I can't see it all... its a work in progress haha.
I love history, languages, and just talking to people. My dream is to become a mental health therapist someday, it's a goal I'm currently working towards.
I try to meditate everyday. I love taking a walk, especially in nature. I love all animals, but dogs have a special place in me.
I am a pescatarian... in that I still eat eggs and fish sometimes. But I don't mind at all if others eat meat in front of me.
I used to be an English teacher abroad for some years, and I still enjoy helping people to learn whatever i might know.
I'm interested to learn more about cooking, nature, the hospitality industry, permaculture, drawing, spirituality, and sustainable tourism.... to name a few things. If I were rich I think i'd just travel and take classes on everything there is to know. :D
I'll leave it to that, and allow you to ask any further questions to help you to fill in the blanks.

More details about my language interests
I was an ESL teacher for 7 years. I have studied four different languages, Spanish, German, Italian and Mandarin. I love learning languages... they are like puzzles that when you unlock them you get a wealth of knowledge and understanding of a group of people and their cultures. I also love to teach anyone who truly wants to learn. I don't want to sound cheesy... but it truly is incredible the look you get in someone eyes when they realize they finally understand something they never could before.
