Salutations!

I'm a 26 year old artist, animator, English teacher and storyteller with interests that spread far and wide. I went to school for animation and a little after graduating, worked as an English teacher in South Korea. It was suuuch a great experience- I plan to go back some day. The food. was. DELICIOUS. South Korea is also where I adopted the most handsome boy in the world. He is a Jindo mix that I named Ruka.

I have 3 ocarinas that I love to play- I find it so relaxing. My drawing skills aren't as good as they used to be since I didn't do much of that in Korea. I love both deep conversations that last for hours and fangirling about something I'm passionate about.

I like to study and read about new things and I'm currently interested in Chinese medicine, yoga and meditation, and psychology. I'm teaching myself Korean now, and hope to conquer Japanese next, and maybe Chinese.
