I am a 29 year old Special Education/Kindergarten teacher living in Russia (I am from the USA.)

You can call me pescatarian if you like, I generally eat seafood no more than three times a month and am otherwise ovo-lacto vegetarian (used to be vegetarian for 10 years and then I moved to Japan for a couple of months LOL!) and truly believe in a holisitic vision towards health. I follow the Mediterrnean diet w/a bit of India, Mexico and Japan thrown in!
