Hi, My name is Mata, Originally from New Zealand, I have spent the last 20 years in Seoul, South Korea. During my time in South Korea, I have been involved primarily in the education sector. Also established recruitment companies, consultation providers, and dabbled in import/export. After 20 years it’s time to go home and look at the next 20-year cycle.
