ABOUT ME

Travelling is my passion. I spent 3 months in Thailand, Vietnam, Beijing and Hong Kong in 2012. I think I left a huge part of me buried on the beaches of Koh Phangan or in the backseat of a tuk-tuk because I've felt an ache to return ever since. This past summer I spent three months travelling through Europe - too many places to list but I particularly loved Sarajevo, Prague, Helsinki, Tallinn, Budapest, and Reykjavik. Most recently, I spent five months living and working in Seongnam, South Korea.

Take me to Siberia or Morocco next; a journey north on the vodka train or a summer spent sleeping on rooftops, smoking hookah, and bargaining in Marrakech markets...

Other things I enjoy are playing soccer, hiking, swimming and writing (although this about me page was something I found to be particularly agonizing). I love music - especially ben howard, keaton henson, and gogol bordello.

Other than all that, I love Quentin Tarantino movies, Scandinavian crime novels and kicking it old school on the N64.
