**Things you might like to know about me.** I love to travel and although you can do it without knowing the language and the culture it sure helps when you find yourself in an awkward situation. I have traveled throughout México, Central America, South America and the United States of America. In all of these regions of the world I have made great friends and wouldn’t trade it for all the tea in China, but I would like to go there some day. I love all of the ancient indigenous cultures of the Americas and have been to many major archaeological sites of the Inca, Maya and Aztec.   Cool music I found in Peru media type="file" key="03 Bandolero.m4a" I speak English, Spanish and I am in the process of learning to speak Italian. I am very passionate about what I believe to be the oldest educational discipline which off course is learning another language then your own. That brings me to my next passion sharing my knowledge of language with others, such as my students, people I meet traveling and fellow language lovers. Although I am serious about language, I love to laugh and be a goofball because it gives me a chance to unleash the young learner in me whose curiosity knows no boundaries.  I also have regular hobbies that keep me busy when I’m not teaching and traveling the world. I love to play ice hockey the best sport in the world. Sorry fútbol/soccer fans, but someday you will all understand the importance and complexity of the best game on the planet, well at least where there‘s ice. I love to play the guitar and listen to all types of music which is a great way to learn a language. I have a passion for finding and reading old books especially in Spanish. I look forward to meeting everyone who has read this. // ¡Qué tenga un buen día! aka Have a good day! //

This is me in a nut shell.
