Description

Hi! I am one of those crazy people who go about disturbing the peace with questions that no one can seem to answer. In other words, I am a philosopher. My central interest is in the philosophy of peace and equity.

I also paint (oil paints) draw (graphite, charcoal), sculpt (clay), and I love learning ancient languages.

I would also love to learn modern languages and share my own native English with others, and I want to see just about everything in the world!

More details about my language interests
