ALONE

KEVIN STODA�has been blessed to have either traveled in or worked in nearly 100 countries on five continents over the past two and a half decades.��He sees himself as a peace educator and have been�� a promoter of good economic and social development--making�him an enemy of my homelands humongous spending and its focus on using weapons to try and solve global issues.

"I am from Kansas so I also use the pseudonym 'Kansas' when I write and publish.� I�keep two blogs--one with blogger and one with GNN.� My writings range from reviews to editorials or to travel observations.� I also make recommendations related to policy--having both a�strong background in teaching foreign languages and degrees in teaching in history and the social sciences.�As a midwesterner, I also write on religion and living out ones faith whether it be as a Christian, Muslim or Buddhist perspective."

On my own home page, I also provide information for language learners and travelers http://www.geocities.com/eslkevin/�,� http://the-teacher.blogspot.com/�& http://alone.gnn.tv/
