I’m a twenty-something nomadic photojournalist-hopeful living across the river from Washington DC, currently a professional dog walker after teaching English at three middle schools on a small, mountainous island on the southwestern-most tip of South Korea for a year. I have a bit of a problem with feeling like I was born at the wrong point in history, which I remedy by spending my spare time as a historical reenactor. I’m a bit of an adventurer, with a penchant for tallship sailing, flying planes, and wandering the world. A friend once said that I tend to “stroll through life”, and I am prone to sudden, casual shifts of interests and location. I’m a contemplative Quaker on the more traditional end of the spectrum. I’m a voracious reader to whom nothing is too boring to learn. I am very much in love with a wonderful Frenchman with whom I share a dream of living in rural Vermont or Pennsylvania, and we both have a fondness for shooting antiquated firearms and sewing 250 year old clothing. We co-own and ride a vintage sidecar motorcycle together. I live a relatively simple lifestyle and try to roll with life’s punches as much as possible. I am also highly silly, and somewhat of a kid wearing grown-up’s clothing. I'm currently working on the logistics for a documentary project I will be doing in Mongolia sometime in 2011.
I was born in Korea, but it feels like you know more about it than me...
I like your photographs...What kind of camera do you use?
(if you don't mind me asking?)
Thanks for the offer - I may have to take you up on that. I'm stubborn and can't accept that I can't design my way out of a paper bag.
Anyway, I think it's great that you do the historical stuff. Some of my volunteer friends sew costumes as part of their job. I've seen the way that museums have changed because people just don't care anymore about history - that's been the struggle of my husband's place of employment. Attracting crowds takes a lot of effort these days.
I don't know about having a Jindo in our apartment with our two cats! Hehe. I would just feel bad keeping a larger dog in a small space here. I want to wait until we have some land and they can get a bit more exercise and have a bit more freedom. But it's good to know they can be kept in apartments!
Yeah, one reason we like Wonju is because it's not Seoul. Of course, it's modernized and we have all the conveniences, but it's more spread out, there's lots of green and of course, we love the mountains!
I would love to visit Jindo sometime soon!
Thanks for the add! Your blog seems interesting. Definitely will be looking into your expat category :P And I love your layout! I was thinking of a 'magazine' style for myself but I don't think I'm that put together! LOL
Thanks for your comments! That is awesome that you're a historical reenactor on the side. My husband works at a local historical landmark and they have a group that does that. It's so much fun. Anyway, I look forward to reading your blogs - you seem like you've got interesting stuff to say.
