About me
Hey
I’m Tom, 24 years old (apparently I’m 2 years older here in Korea though) and living in, well, I’ve given it away already – Korea!
Working as a teacher in Daegu and enjoying it…so far. All neon lights and responsibility, albeit a temperamental air con system in my apartment.
I’m originally from a small farming village outside of Harrogate, and prior to my move to Daegu, I was working in a call centre in Newcastle Upon Tyne, where I’ve lived for the past 5 years.
I’d describe myself as ambitious, optimistic, adventurous, confident, impatient and blunt. I like raspberry flavoured things, cheese and puppies. I dislike spiders, heights and the noise that polystyrene makes.
