ABOUT ME
I grew up on a little commune in the middle of nowhere in New Zealand, and now I'm exploring the world. I went to a tiny rural Steiner school, studied high school at home, trained as a florist, and got a BA in Linguistics, before training as a TEFL teacher so I could live and work in exotic countries such as England, and see the world. I spent two years living Italy and I'm moving to Korea in May 2014.
I love travelling and have managed to see a bit of Europe between jobs, as well as SE Asia, 2 months in India and last year I went back to NZ via the trans-Mongolian - 2 months, 8 countries, Latvia to Hong Kong without flying, well over a week worth of train trips.
I'm easy going and friendly, although sometimes I'm a bit shy (I'm trying to overcome this!)
I'm a vegetarian, I love cooking and I don't smoke.
