South Korea View allDescription
Mostly calm but sometimes quite lively, friendly, reliable, very intelligent, need security but am still brave and do adventurous things, passionate, vain.
For a woman I am relatively strong.
I love nature, physical exercise, learning Korean and Kazakh, animals, especially the dog breed Dogo Canario and old milking cow breeds, and cooking. So for 5 years now I regularly go for a walk, do a little Yoga, strength training and in summer outdoor swimming. In the past I practiced the Russian martial art Systema and Argentine Tango both for around 7 years. Whilst living in Korea I started Kickboxing. Since 2025 I also started dipping my toe into MMA.
I also need and love quiet time for myself with lots of tea drinking, doing this and that, cleaning the home, reading and cooking healthy dishes.
I lived in the US for 2 years as a child and in South Korea for 1 1/2 years from September 2022 - April 2024. I have been to Kazakhstan three times: 6 weeks in 2021, 4 weeks in January 2024 and 4 weeks in March 2025.Interests

What else ...
I have autistic traits: Highly sensitive to noise, smells, visual input & Liking my routines and special interests. But I do very much like people. Though I might sometimes forget to greet you or seem odd, no offense meant :)
I enjoy the little things in life, too, like drinking a cup of tea, feeling a soft fur, the wind on my skin, birds singing...
I am interested in concious, healthy and sustainable living. Therefore, I have some knowledge about ecological living principles, Ayurveda, TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), Macrobiotics and skin care as well as about functional and strength training. In addition, I am non-religious but live by some Buddhist ethics and rules.
I am passionate about my strength and Kickboxing/MMA training.
I am using modern technology like computer and a phone. But when possible I prefer being in the moment with people directly. I find the world has become a strange place where people are glued to their phones.
I love tea and drink more than you can possibly imagine every day. I know a lot about Green Tea, especially Japanese, but also a bit about tisanes. I do not drink alcohol or do drugs. But despite all that, I am not your typical eco-person, because I also like beauty and fashion and appreciate the good parts of modern living.
My goal is to be a good person and contribute to peoples and the worlds wellbeing.
Along the way I wish to make good friends, build meaningful relationships and one day get a dog, find a partner and have a family.Some more information
