Old profile from when I lived abroad as a civilian. Currently working in CA.

I'm very social, motivated, and I have interests in all sorts of music, movies, and places. I love language and I like to work really hard on all sorts of things I occupy my free time with. I'm very much into humor and networking. I enjoy partying, exercising, reading about foreign countries, and planning journeys to new places.

In 2012, I lived and learned Russian across countries like Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Poland, Georgia and Transnistria.

In 2013, I moved to Shanghai, China. Since then I have traveled to Hong Kong, Macau, and Vietnam.

In 2014, I left Shanghai and moved to Prague, Czech Republic for two months to create online businesses with friends. I moved to Batumi, Georgia for another two months to spend my summer and study Russian at an academy.

I operate a travel blog to stay in touch with friends both old and new, to share the journey that I find, and personal tips on how to help yourself in new environments, language barriers, and of course, finding opportunity.
