About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See everything, do everything, make as many friends as possible, simply I want to LIVE! ^^

ABOUT ME

I am currently an English teacher teaching elementary school in Korea. I love to travel, visit new places, and meet new people. Photography and music are my passions, and I love the outdoors.
I am very easy going and may seem quiet and shy upon first meeting. But once I get comfortable, I can be very outgoing. I love to laugh and have fun, and sometimes I never run out of energy. Really, I just want to have a good (sometimes wild) time with good people...and to LAUGH! Oh yeah, I love food....

PHILOSOPHY

Laugh and be happy...life's too short to be sad or angry...let go of the stress and be a positive force in the world...others will follow suit ^^
