About Me

I have now been back in the U.S. for a year and I can't believe it, time has just flown by. I have spent three of the past five years living abroad in amazing Italy and traveled to Germany, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Spain, and Portugal. I recently returned from Hong Kong, China, and Japan and it was SWEET.

I enjoy photography as a hobby (you can check it out at www.samuelmorgan.com ). I have a Masters in International Relations. I am currently trying to break into this extremely difficult field, but perhaps I will just go back to school for another year and get my PhD. We'll see . . .

My Interests

I love photography! Having travelled to so many places I like to try and share what that culture is like and its beauty with those who may never see it in person. I also like capturing candid moments from people of other cultures, showing how we are all so similar when it comes down to it. I also like movies both as entertainment and as an art. I like thought provoking conversations. I like questioning and do not accept something just because I heard it from this guy who heard it from this girl, or who even heard it from the president. I like laughing, I like getting worked up, I like the sense of pride from doing something meaningful.

I'd like to meet:

"Chi Vuol Esser Lieto Sia; Di Doman Non C'e' Certezza!" (Who wants to be happy be; there is no certainty of tomorrow). Anyone who agrees with this philosophy or whoever was able to translate that by themselves.

Music:

Dave Matthews Band, Blues Traveler, Aerosmith, Jay Z, Snoop, Dre, Eminem, Ice Cube, Tupac, BEP, Ludacris, Sublime, Maroon 5, James Taylor, Beatles, Arrested Development (remember them?), Sir Mix A Lot, Xibit, BEP, Ludacris, OAR, Cold Play, Andrea Bocelli, 50 Cent, Green Day . . . . all kinds of music.

Movies:

Lazy Ramadi
