Description

Originally from Ireland, with a degree in Science and postgraduate studies in Oceanography, after working for the Fisheries for two years in Ireland I moved to South Korea to teach. My passions in life are the outdoors, the ocean, hiking and camping ~ I've spent most of the last 25 years teaching English in South Korea and bike, hike and sea kayak in my free time ... recently took a sabbatical to travel from Istanbul to Iceland and then from Ushuaia to the Galapagos, taking in the O-Loop in Torres Del Paine, Huayna Potosí in Bolivia and on to dive and camp on the Galapagos. Looking forward to more adventures, helping others, learning new skills and travelling as much as possible in the coming years~ I can be found on instagram @be___remarkable
