CURRENT MISSION

To understand, and enjoy

ABOUT ME

From small-town Montana, a student of sociology, lived in Illinois, Colorado, Azerbaijan, Japan, Wyoming, Indiana, West Virginia, and now Chicago (in that order). My partner and my living situation makes hosting a little difficult, unfortunately. We have a tiny, apartment with only enough space to host someone on the floor! (Unless you can comfortably fit on a loveseat!) but we are more than happy to offer some help or company. I have an insatiable desire to experience every corner of the globe, and the (unattainable) desire to understand everything. We are very open to appreciating the many subtle and not-so-subtle variations of lifestyles.

教，学，和分享

I can definitely teach a bit of Azerbaijani and plenty of sociology! I've played guitar for well over a decade, but I am a terrible guitar teacher - happy to try though. I can tell you all about Montana and a little bit about finance and open-source software.
