About Me

I'm 27, currently living and teaching English in South Korea and really enjoying it! Before that I lived in Bristol in the UK for three years and had a wicked time there. I'm not sure what the future has in store for me but all I know is that I will continue to travel around for a while yet.... Being as this is my first homepage as such, I'm not really used to detailing my character and personality in writing, instead preferring people to make up their own minds about me. Main reason for joining this is to meet new folks as the town where I live and teach in S.Korea could be described as a ghost town so meeting anyone who speaks English, let alone has anything interesting to say is proving a little difficult! So to all people who will broaden my mind, challenge and/or enlighten my life, I say welcome!
