CURRENT MISSION

I want to make friends to expand my network and my mind, by learning and experiencing other cultures

ABOUT ME

Hiii! Well, where to start... I love music and movies, especially world music. I am currently working in an after-school program. Before that I was an ESL teacher at a private English school in Seoul, South Korea. A couple of years ago I was volunteering in the Peace Corps and living in Pohnpei. I enjoy teaching and traveling the world. I love meeting new people and hope to make many friends around the world!! Kalahngan kumeil! Kam-sam-nida! Grazie mille! Merci!
