Dr. Carl Reinhold Augustsson is a professor, a writer, and a world traveler. He was born in the United States in the state of Virginia in 1977 to a mother from the US and a father from Sweden. His wife is Georgian. As a result, he has citizenship in all three countries, and by extension, the European Union. He has lived in all three of his countries, plus five others. In addition, he has travelled to a total of 125 countries on six continents, including every country in Europe. Moreover, he served in the Peace Corps in Pleven, Bulgaria as an English teacher from 1999-2001.
In addition to travel, Carl’s biggest passions are academics and languages. He has earned four Master’s Degrees and a PhD in subjects such as International Studies, Political Science, and English Philology. He has taught classes in subjects such as English, History, and Political Science at academic levels ranging from junior high school to Master’s degree. As for languages, he is a strong supporter of trying to save as many of the world’s smaller languages, especially the Celtic ones, as possible. Indeed, he takes an online class every week from the Isle of Man in the Manx language, which is enjoying a notable revival. Carl has studied 27 different European languages in some capacity, though he cannot speak them all. His goal is to learn most of the languages of Europe to at least to B1, or bare minimum A2 level.
Carl splits his time between his three countries and world travel with his wife and two children.
