3 unique facts about me
- Setup English classes in the countries of Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil. Learning new languages by living in the countries and teaching has been a great and very rewarding ongoing cultural experience.
- Foremost, a sailor, nature lover and adventure seeker. Previously a computer consultant and administrator for a bioinformatic gene sequencing company. Not a wonder, the Commodore 64 and sail boats, like the Chinese Junk rigs make for feverish interest.
- 1 Year teaching on Langu to help satisfy that thirst for traveling and living around the world. Currently focusing on a favorite as you can see, South America. Your lessons help make this dream possible.
