ABOUT ME

I'm a 25 year old English teacher. I'm originally from Brighton in the UK but I've been working as an English teacher in Istanbul for about 3 years. I like reading, watching films and talking about books and films! I'm interested in history and like to travel. I've visited many places in Turkey but would like to travel more in Turkey as well as in the world.
