Hey, stranger

I'M FREDDIE, A SO-CALLED THIRD CULTURE KID, CURRENTLY LIVING IN LONDON    . IN MY 30-ODD YEARS, I'VE CALLED SIX COUNTRIES MY HOME (INCLUDING THE US, THE UK, BURUNDI, AND GERMANY), AND HAVE TRAVELLED TO OVER FIFTY. I GREW UP BILINGUALLY, SPEAKING ENGLISH AND GERMAN.        MY FRIENDS DESCRIBE MY ACCENT AS "CONFUSED INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL KID," WHICH YEAH...

WHEN I'M NOT GEEKING OUT OVER GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION (SEXY STUFF, I KNOW), YOU'LL EITHER FIND ME AT THE NEAREST EATERY OR EN ROUTE TO THE AIRPORT    BECAUSE WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN A NEW YORK SLICE AND ADVENTURE?

SOME OTHER THINGS I LOVE: Y2K, WEB DESIGN,       CHEESY HORROR FLICKS, ROLLERCOASTERS, PUPPIES, PEANUT BUTTER     , COFFEE, AND KICKS
