CURRENT MISSION

Reaching East Timor!

ABOUT ME

I’ve travelled and worked abroad since 2010, with a few brief stints back in the UK. I have traveled extensively across Asia and the Americas. In my past life I worked for a political party in the UK. After teaching English in Libya and Saudi Arabia I started teaching online and have leapt into the world of digital nomadism. I now work in editing and proofreading.

Transient. Resilient. Open.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe that Diem!

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I love languages, I’d love to learn yours :)

I'd like to learn about different ways of life across the world.
