Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to explore the world and it’s various couches!
ABOUT ME
I have a thirst for adventure, travelling and meeting new people from all around the globe.
My first solo trip in 2010 of 10 months of backpacking around South America changed my life completely and led me to become an English as a second language teacher, allowing me to teach in over 10 different countries.
I taught kids in Hanoi for 2 years and university students in Tokyo, Japan, before returning to London to teach in a Primary School.
I am currently preparing to move to Mexico City in the summer, where I will teach in an international school.
PHILOSOPHY
Traveling is very important in order to experience different cultures and ways of living and different people.
