About Me

I currently live in a small village called Reichenbach-Steegen in the Rhine valley of Germany. Europe is beautiful and amazing; better than I could have ever imagined. Traveling is my number one priority right now... but I am currently working to complete my undergraduate degree in English at the University of Maryland UCEurope. I don't know what "I want to be" when I grow up, but some of my goals (dreams?) include writing novels and/or discographies, teaching English as a foreign language, and being happy.
"There is so much good in the worst of us,
And so much bad in the best of us,
That it ill behooves any of us
To find fault with the rest of us."

You and I
"We are all different aspects of the
same thing therefore there is only
one I in the universe because
everything else is you. We are all
masturbators because when we
screw each other, we are really
screwing ourselves."
Keith N. Favreira
