Blogging

Hello! Здравствуйте!

I never really planned to get into the blogging game. However, I am lucky enough to be abroad for the next year as a Fulbright ETA and current Title VIII recipient (studying Russian) in Kyrgyzstan. I have decided that it is a good way to document my experience for myself. At its core, this blog is for me. I really don’t expect any other readers beyond possibly my wonderful mother, however all are welcome to read and maybe enjoy my pictures and experiences.

About myself: Guy in my 20s from Mid-Michigan. I am a two time Wolverine (done with classes but still finishing my master’s thesis) and was a TFA 2012 corps member in the wonderful city of Detroit. I love Central Asian history, which has guided my path to this part of the world.  I am currently in Bishkek, but will soon be in Osh.  I love the Cubs, skiing, golf, and a good brunch.

Blogging Topics: What ever I feel like. Mostly will be travel locations, cultural experiences, and general reflections on lifestyle. Some posts will speak of past experiences and some will be recent. I may post a little in Russian, who knows. Note: I will not touch on politics here or back home.

Comment Policy: I will try to read and reply, but life is busy. If I see something I find offensive or just don’t like, I may delete them. Comments do not reflect my views.
