My name is Alex.

I love going to shows, watching bad movies and indie films, reading and playing video games. I also like to attempt to longboard when I get the chance, and try to set aside time to write. I live in what's nicknamed "Beer City, USA" and, so far, all of my favorite beers are not from here (but the ones that are here are still pretty good). I love to travel and would love to hear more about other people's adventures as well as wherever they're from.

I'm an ESL teacher for those looking to improve (or learn) English.

I'm not very good at writing these things. If there's more you'd like to know (or anything written above interests you) then send over a message.

Preferably people from outside the United States, but I'm really not all that picky. If you're good humored and love books and music, I'd love to talk to you.

If you wish to learn English, I will help you however I can!

I'd like to try to learn Czech, so anyone who is a native speaker is much appreciated.
