CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life, meet new people and share experiences and try to help people less fortunate than myself!

ABOUT ME

I am from England, but caught the travelling bug after finishing university, and have spent as much time inbetween teaching jobs, travelling as I can. I now live and work in lima, Peru. I love my life here and am looking forward to sharing some of my experiences here with you.
I work as a teacher in a bilingual school. At the weekends I do voluntary work for a school for death children. I am slowly learning sign language... as well as trying to improve my spanish.
I love diving, theatre ( i am in a English speaking theatre group here in lima), and going ut with my new friends and trying as many new restuarants, bars etc as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

To enjoy life as much as possible, by sharing experieneces with others.
