Currently I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan. However, I have also lived in the Philippines. I consider it my home away from home and I am planning to go back to the Philippines after a backpacking trip through SE Asia. I will start in Bangkok, and work my way up through Thailand eventually crossing over into Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and then back into Thailand again before heading off into Malaysia. I plan on learning a little Thai before I take my trip to help me on my journey through the country. I am looking for any of the following: a language teacher, a language tutor, a language exchange partner, or new friends residing where I plan on going. I am willing to help people learn English, but I have never taught or even attempted to teach anyone my native language before.
