About Activity

I'm a Maryland native,I recently graduated from high school in June '11. I am currently working and studying online at Penn Foster College for my Associates degree in Graphic Design. I'd like to start my expat/teacher journey in Taiwan and Japan, and then back to America to finish my Bachelor's degree.I'd like to teach English too in South Korea, any suggestions? I hear teaching English is a good thing to do. You can make good money while helping people learn your language.

Interests: reading, listening to music(classical, kyudo, and lifestyles, video games, traditional korean and japanese music and jpop and jpop), , rock, learning about korean and japanese culture
