About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

ABOUT ME

I am teaching in South Korea, in the Seoul area!

I love to cook on my days off, usually at the cinema or at local coffee shops reading or creating with friends. I recently got a Diana camera that takes 120 film so I have been taking loads of pictures! Exploring Seoul and it's vastness.

PHILOSOPHY

A thirst for the unpredictable, the unplanned and the wacky.
