Overview
About Me
I just moved to Bogota. Previously i lived in Shanghai, Nairobi, Ireland. I'm teaching history and politics. I lived in Kenya for 5 years where I volunteered and worked in human rights, poverty and politics and this is my passion. In a previous life i worked in Community Health. I'm very sporty and i love to eat great food with a drink and learn about new cultures.
PHILOSOPHY: "All that evil needs to triumph is for good men/women to do nothing" (Edmund Burke)
