ABOUT ME

I have taught English in China and worked with refugees in Turkey. I love to travel alone and meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

I try very hard to live by my all time favourite quote:
"The greatness of a man is not in the wealth he acquires but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively." - Bob Marley

Anti-theist, liberal, who believes smiling is one of the most contagious things we do.
