I'm originally from Scotland though now I live in Metz where I teach English to undergraduate . I've also previously studied/taught in Russia and Costa Rica.
I love travelling though as I'm working now it's a part time passion. One day I would love to go to South America, so I love hearing about it from anyone who's been there, although I'm admittedly also quite jealous :/
This summer I managed to take a five week break and travelled overland from Beijing to Lithuania....it was awesome and I got to tick the trans Siberian off my bucket list!
I also love languages, reading, hiking...

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe anything you're interested in about Scotland (ceilidh dancing?!)
I love learning languages, and right now am trying to improve my terrible German!
