ABOUT ME

I am currently working in South Korea as a teacher. My greatest loves are traveling, literature, film and music, anything involving the arts interests me. I am also a keen runner and hiker, and try to get out as often as possible. I am confident and love a new challenge or experience, as long as it doesn't involve falling from great heights or the chance of being eaten alive by ferocious animals. Anything else is gravy!

PHILOSOPHY

You only regret the thing you didn't do.

'Self confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.'
-Samuel Johnson
