Nifwl Seirff

About

Sometimes I think I'm just a twisted figment of someone's imagination, a fairly quirky quiet person with too many hobbies, some of which are expensive and time consuming.

. Full name: Kymberly Eirlys Fergusson
. Nifwl Seirff is Welsh for 'misty serpents' if translated correctly.
. I love dragons, serpents, and ethereal things.
. I am normally found in low light, stuck to a computer, crowd-a-phobic, an Australian and British citizen, and usually very cold.
. I am always learning: now studying German, Japanese, tai chi, and tea ceremony.
. This site is created in a text editor and checked on Firefox in MacOSX. I do not guarantee that the site looks as planned with any other browser.
. I have lived in: Melbourne, Brisbane, Fukushima, Leipzig
. LinkedIn
