ABOUT ME

Hi everyone! I am based in London and teach at a university (Development Studies and English Language). I have also lived and worked in Japan for 5 years. I have travelled a lot in Europe and Asia and always love exploring new places, meeting new people and trying to understand more about the world.

PHILOSOPHY

"With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy." Our world is far from perfect, but together we can make it a better place.
