About Me

I’m a 35-year-old English tutor, photographer, and world traveler. Over the last seven years, I’ve journeyed to more than 50 countries across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. I’ve had the incredible experience of immersing myself in the daily lives of Sweden, Germany, and Türkiye during year-long stays in each country.

In December 2023, I began exploring South America, starting my journey in the captivating landscapes of Brazil. My travels have given me firsthand experience in learning foreign languages, providing a unique perspective in my role as an English tutor.

Beyond teaching, I run a light painting photography business, capturing stunning images wherever I go. In my free time, you’ll often find me hiking mountains, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, and delving into software engineering studies.
