I am here for Friends

About Me

I recently finished two years Peace Corps service, teaching English to high schoolers in southwestern Bulgaria. Now I'm trying to figure out my role back home. Two and a half years in Bulgaria may be something I never fully recover from. I kind of hope not. Trying to be the best me I can. Trying to love life. Trying to fulfil my purpose.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Friendly people. Not creepy people. Not people who have a bunch of half-naked girls on the top 8 lists. That qualifies as creepy

My Blog

Baby Robins!

Check out my pictures of two Robin's nest in our fruit trees.  I know you only like to see pictures of people acting sexy or partying, but indulge me.  I like nice photos. Spring has Sprung

Not so much blogging here

I'm not too sure that I'll be doing any blogging here.  I really just wanted a profile for when I comment on other folks' blogs.  You can check my blog:  American in Bulgaria
