I’m from the US but studied abroad in New Zealand 🇳🇿 and was an English teacher in Korea 🇰🇷 and Thailand 🇹🇭 for over 3 years. I’ve also been traveling all throughout Asia. You’ll rarely ever catch me not smiling. I enjoy traveling, learning new things, experiencing different cultures, hiking, sharing stories, relaxing and laughing. Now I’m going around the USA on my motorcycle 🏍🗺
