CURRENT MISSION

Teaching, travelling and making friends :)

ABOUT ME

Easy going and open minded. All about life being a journey and not a destination. Love to meet new characters, the zanier the better! Love to drink coffee and gin, love to dance, love nature.
I do a lot of work with children and am currently teaching my way around the world.
Recently started practising Buddhism.
Just moved back to London after a year in Ghana.
Currently in a house share so sadly I can't host :( but always up for a meet up :)

PHILOSOPHY

It's not about weathering the storm, but learning how to dance in the rain.

Teach, Learn, Share

On oldie but a goodie:
“Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain.
