Hi my name is John and I am from the US. I grew up in the State Michigan but have been spending most of my adult years in the State of North Carolina. I have solo traveled a few times and have been on cruises and hope to travel some more soon! I am looking for new friends to learn about their culture and language. Hope to find some people I could meet in person one day!

I've been to the England, France, Italy, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Grand Turk, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, Bahamas, Belize, Virgin Islands, Ireland, Germany, Czech Republic, Denmark, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea and Japan.

Places I want to visit in the near future! Iceland, Portugal, Spain, Poland, Vietnam, Indonesia, China, Brazil, Peru, Australia and New Zealand.

I am thinking about teaching English in Asia and it would be nice to talk with someone who has experience.

I speak a little Spanish and would like to improve. Other than that I am open to all other languages!

"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

"In an honest service there is thin commons, low wages, and hard labour. In this, plenty and satiety, pleasure and ease, liberty and power; and who would not balance creditor on this side, when all the hazard that is run for it, at worst is only a sour look or two at choking? "No, a merry life and a short one shall be my motto" - Bartholomew Roberts

"The problem with predicting the future is that it is really hard." -Yogi Berra


"When people fear the government, that is tyranny;
When the government fears the people, that is liberty." -Thomas Jefferson

"The grass isn't always greener on the other side."

"Give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime."

" You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Harvey Dent-Batman.
