CURRENT MISSION

finding teaching jobs in great locations and traveling around during school holidays

ABOUT ME

Once upon a time I took a year off my studies and went to work in Thailand. I had the time of my life there, traveling around South-East Asia and hanging out with cool people from all over the world. I realized that I could travel and work in Education and the same time. After Asia I got fixed on Africa so I went there to do an educational project in Uganda. Then I run out of money and went to teach in Bahrain, it was quite a boring place so I decided to move again. Somehow I ended up here in Istanbul, I work in an international school, which gives me lot of time to travel : ) Now I’m getting fixed on America, North, South, Middle, any!

PHILOSOPHY

be independent, curious, discover the world for yourself, look for happiness and beauty, care for others, find out what you really want to do and just do it :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m kind of disappointed that couch surfing is more and more used as a tool to pick up girls, especially here in the Middle East. You don’t have to be a great traveler yet to be a part of CS but the basic curiosity about the world is a must I guess. So if meeting a foreign girl is your only interest, don’t use CS for that, there is plenty of dating websites out there for u :)
