About Me


Not much to say- just trying to keep my life simple. I'm 1/2 Slovak-Czech, 1/2 Lebanese-Syrian. I love to travel, especially to central Europe- gotta love those Slavs- best people in the world! I enjoy studying languages and the people and cultures that accompany them, mainly Slavic (Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Slovenian), I can function in French and German, and someday I would like to learn some Arabic.

My Interests

Travel,history,architecture,current events,Slavic languages, Slavic history. Oh, and I really love my little dog, "Tasha"- she's 1/2 Lab and 1/2 Beagle.Get Your Own Real Time Visitor Map!

I'd like to meet:

Extremely wealthy heirless widows - just kidding (checking to see if anybody really reads this crap)... But if you know of any, hook me up!

Music:

I can listen to just about anything, except country. I've been addicted to international music lately, especially Balkan, Latin and some Arabic and Israeli stuff. It's a big, interesting world out there, and I don't have a problem listening to music where I don't understand all of the words.

Heroes:

a friend of a friend wrote this: " A hero isn't someone who does some amazing feat. A hero is someone who day in and day out does their best to make their life and the lives of those around them happier. A hero is someone who is always there for you, no matter what." I agree with that statement...
