Overview
About Me
MISSION
To revel in life, to embrace it and not take it too seriously. And to share it with wonderful people.
To someday master the art of making non-microwaved porridge (milk moat and all)
ABOUT ME
Happy, sociable, laid-back. Love to meet new people and experience new things, so CouchSurfing is the perfect community for me. I'm very active and like to spend my time outdoors, whether it be playing some sort of sport or just wandering around aimlessly. I love animals (Especially my two dogs Tes and Perla)
I currently teach English in Phnom Penh, at the happiest school in the world for the French NGO Toutes a l'école.
PHILOSOPHY
My 'philosophy' changes every few days and I can't be bothered to update my profile that often.
"We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have."
- Frederik Keonig (I don't know who this chap is but he does good quotes)
