An Intro

Sorry that this has taken me so long to get going, but I've had some issues getting the internet going and getting everything uploaded. Though I realize that most of the people reading this will already know me, I will give a quick introduction nevertheless. The posts to come will catch ya'll up to the present day and then I'll try to diligently update the blog with new sights and observations.

I was born in August 1988 in Portland, Oregon to Paul and Nancy Nash. As a Forester for the US Forest Service we moved to Winthrop, WA when I was less than a year old. We lived there for 7 years before we moved to Omak,WA, which is about an hour away from both Winthrop and the Canadian border. My family still live there today. I was raised in the Baptist Church and attended private Christian school until the end of 7th grade. Middle School and first two years of High School were both in the Omak school system. I started attending a local Free Methodist Church shortly before spending a half-year as an exchange student near Düsseldorf, Germany. After returning to the US, I dual-enrolled at the High School and the local Community College and graduated with my HS Diploma and AA degree at the same time. Fall of 2007 I started my studies at the University of Washington in Seattle. I originally focused on German and spent the spring quarter of 07/08 studying German in Vienna, Austria. Around this time, I decided to focus on International Studies and graduated with my BA in it in Spring 2009.

I spent the summer taking courses to be an English teacher and found employment with a school in South Central Poland. And that is the short-but-sweet of where I am now. Future elaboration may appear but who know...
