CURRENT MISSION

About to move to Italy for the next 9 months, starting off with a few days in Rome. Don’t know any Italian yet but hopefully I’ll pick some up as I go, hopefully meeting good people and having good times on the way!

ABOUT ME

Easy-going guy. I've been working as an English teacher in China, South Korea and Colombia for the last few years and it's given me a taste for travelling and living in new countries around the world, meeting people from all walks of life along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what makes you happy.
