Hi and thanks for reading this little biography.
      To begin with, I am an American who loves to read literature and history. Currently, I am working toward a M.A. in American and British literature and I am trying to renew my teaching license according to the requirements​ set forth in my native country. I am interested in communicatin​g with pen pals from all over the world but I really like writing to people who live in Europe, or former British colonies. For of you who like graphics, do look at my photos. There will be more to come.

     It is hard to really talking about myself since I perfer two way letters. That is, I know who I am but I only know what you have written about yourself. Why not take a chance and write back. You will find that it is time well spend learning about each other and where we are from.

I apolise that I can not speak or write in other languages. So, I must ask that you please communicate with me in English. I would like to communicate with women between the ages of 20 to 50.  Finally, while some people will think that this is "negative"​ to state, I must be direct in asking that all requests for money and other scams not include me. I have had many, many problems with this. So, I must state directly that I will hit delect. Also, I am  not able to run a hotel for your efforts to obtain a green card once you are in the United States. Finally, I am not able to pay for your educaton while you are in the United States. I cannot make any exceptions and I need what little money I have to be used toward my education and related expenses. Thank you for telling me that I am attractive, hansome or whatever but I do know a con when I see it.  NO SCAMS!!!!!!!​!!!!!!

I can write in some German, Spanish, and French. But, am the first to admit that I still need a great deal of work in these lingua francas.
