ABOUT ME

Hi,

A little background info. I was born in South Africa, lived there until I was 15, when my family emigrated to England. Lived in England for 8 years, got dual citizenship (SA & UK passports). Then after uni decided to go off to South Korea and teach. Have been living in the ROK for over 8 years.

My first language is Afrikaans and I learned English in school. Been studying a bit of Korean, though I'm fairly inept.

Enjoy sports, watching movies and reading books as well as talking about them. Love travelling and meeting new people.

PS: I cook a great breakfast.

PHILOSOPHY

Like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
