Personal Information
Hello everybody. My name is Brendan Rooney. I am an English teacher from a city called Raleigh in North Carolina, USA. I arrived here in mid-September 2011. While I am new to Poland I have been teaching English for almost four years now. I started teaching English in 2007 in South Korea. One of the things I like about teaching English is the opportunity to meet new people in new places.

My free-time is spent in a variety of different ways. I am an avid reader and enjoy everything from current events and politics to the Game of Thrones series by George R. R. Martin. I like some television but usually if the TV is on I am playing Nintendo Wii or watching movies. If there is one activity that runs through most of my day though it is listening to music. I love all kinds of music from old rock and roll to freak-folk, electronic to orchestra, hip-hop, funk, soul, rap, downtempo and just about everything in between.
I enjoy being active. Back home I have a mountain bike that I had to leave behind but when I get a chance I will be buying one here. I recently started playing Ultimate Frisbee and now it is my favorite sport to play. I am looking forward to visiting the south of Poland to go hiking before it gets too cold.
