About Me

I currently live and teach in Jeonju, South Korea. I'm always looking for new movies, music and foods to try. I also l appreciate art and a good book. I do writing and photography as well, both as a passion and as personal work.

My Korean level is around 4/6 (6 being the highest), but I am not fluent yet.
Spanish is my second language since birth but I am out of practice.
I've chatted with French friends and studied a bit over the years.
Part of my family speaks Mixteco and Nahautl, but I cannot speak these.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of stuff from around the world, old and new. Feel free to ask me or recommend something ~

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is a tough question. I've acted a few times in Korean (web dramas, guest character) and I've opened some exhibitions (including at a local museum).

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning a lot about history, languages, culture, etc. I develop film photographs at home so I know about some of the chemistry. I know a little about lightroom editing for printing, but less about photoshop or digital uploads.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd be happy to cook or teach some of the languages I know. I can take photos or teach some photography (film/digital). I can clean.
