Introduction

I an an exiled member of the San Francisco anarchist community, became a teacher out of necessity after leaving the US in 2001. Now I have an actual teaching career, with a lecturer position at a university. My friends would tell you that I have a great sense of humor and am really engaging; I can tell you that I think subverting the dominant paradigm is the key to healthy living, i love meeting new people and learning about nearly everything, but i don't have much patience (=close to zero) for mindless chatter about shopping malls and other capitalist drone activities. If you put the right substance in my hand and play some good music, i can dance til the sun comes up... after being in landlocked countries for so many years, i am loving being in Istanbul and just seeing the sea, hearing the sea gulls when i wake up, puts a smile on my face every day.

I joined expat.com on 17 January 2014.

  • I can speak Español, français, kicsit magyarul, italiano, bischen deutsch, arabic, learning turkish now ةوىز
  • Interests cooking , Photography, music (esp. blues and jazz), energy & environment, urban cycling, travel blahblahblah
