I'm a writer and a teacher. I teach English in Istanbul and I'm working on my second novel. I've been in Istanbul for over two years now and loving it. Love Turkey so much I bought a place in Bodrum.

Teaching, writing, traveling, investing. Pretty much in that order.

being humble....but plenty of other things, too. ;)

My sense of humor. Some would say I smile a lot.

Books...The Secret History, The Iliad, Shakespeare, too many to name. Movies...Argo, Dark Knight, Drive, Fight Club, but mostly independent movies...This is England, NEDs, You Can Count on Me. TV Shows...Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and...okay, HOw I Met Your Mother. Foods...Italian food beats Turkish out a little...especially the wines, cheeses, and pastas.

My family, especially my nieces and nephew...my health...my teaching job...my passion for learning...my passion for writing...my passion for travel.

what kind of legacy I'll leave.

getting talked into going out with friends even though I'm shattered from teaching all week.

is that I don't like admitting to private things....

ummm, you see or read something you like. =}
