About Me:

I'm moving to Tucson Arizona to study aerospace engineering at the University of ARizona.  I've always been a very ambitious person and I hate having to accept defeat.  I have been told by several people that I am a person who upholds some sort of chivalry code.  (If you ask me though, it should not be so rare to find a modern knight in such a modern world.)  My only problem is that I didn't live 700 years ago to be knight and make historical world travels.  Anyways, before my time gets too late, I'll travel across the USA, Europe, and the Middle East.

Requests:

Anybody who has come to understand themselves and has felt the human need to understand others to better themselves.

Language Exchange Requests:

I'm very well fluent in english obviously.  I spent two years studying latin in high school and I've kept up with it, so I can vaguely understand french, portuguese, spanish and italian.  I've been studying Italian.  It's very close to latin, but more of a paternal twin to spanish haha.  But I'm looking forward to find someone to help me get fluent in it.  I have also recently taken on a desire to learn Arabic and Russian.  I figure that learning Russian will help my career in aerospace engineering.​ 

Interests, Hobbies, etc.:

Architecture​, history, engineering,​ philosophy, music, movies, camping, hiking, traveling, meeting new people, football, lacrosse
