| Introduction | Well, to start, I have a degree in International Politics. About a month prior to starting law school, I chickened out and moved to South Korea to teach English. In the past 4 years I have lived in 4 countries: the U.S.A., Italy, South Korea, and Japan. I have a published ESL textbook being sold in Tokyo. I have studied 8 languages, but am nowhere near fluent in any of them. I love tennis. I would be content spending the rest of my life as a modern-day nomad, settling in a different country each year. I'm an idealist and think more people should be. Idealism does not have to be synonymous with naivete. |
