Meeting people from new places and hearing how other people live fascinates me. I really love the English language. I both write and teach English. I'm terrible at other languages, however. I never got the hang of acquiring new languages. So that gives me extra admiration of those who learn new languages. My interests include cooking, reading, listening to jazz. I love spending time with friends, sharing meals, going out for coffee & conversation, watching movies and tv shows. I especially like gritty film noire. I'm also a big X-Files fan.
