I am an architect living in NYC for the past 11 years and originally from the Southern US.i have traveled extensively throughout the world early in life and looking to scratch my travel itch now that i am 50.
Responsible and well educated with a keen interest in architecture and the arts, I find my professional inspiration in the places i visit and immerse myself in. As a result i am ideally looking for longer exchanges. I am ideally looking for an apartment in London for a week or more in October - November 2010 and am open to other options during 2010 and 2011.
