Hakuna matata! Here's an active traveller who works as an English language teacher, linguistics tutor, and academic editor, with a sociable personality keen on sparking up chats on a whole variety of topics. Loves board games, volleyball matches, and social events too.

💡I change my facial style now and again so you'll have to check the profile pictures to see my latest look.😋

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

❖ Back in 2012 I almost jumped off a waterfall... well, almost.
❖ Then in August 2021 while riding a bike I saved two people from an armed robbery (not realising the culprits were armed).
❖ And in 2022 I accomplished one of my lifelong dreams of travelling across Europe, starting in Valencia and ending in Zagreb.
❖ And recently in August 2025 a Couchsurfer and I managed to stop a potential robbery on a tram by simply using calm logic.
❖ I went ahead with a 2nd Euro trip (2025), but this time focusing more on central Europe and Germany.

教，学，和分享

I'll teach you a lot of British English for sure! I can prepare you for an IELTS exam too, or an important interview. I can also give you loads of tips and advice on academic work. I might manage to cook you something like a three cheese macaroni if I'm in the mood, ha ha, and of course prepare a good cup of tea too.

In the past two years I've been practicing some of the Latin-based dances such as salsa and tango.

By the way, could someone play the accordion and teach me to dance the Lezginka?
It would be a dream come true to dance it under the moonlight: 🌌
