Remy Raitt Elaine Ramirez Paul sharkie South Africa U.S. U.K. After completing her bachelor of journalism degree, Remy worked as a news and lifestyle reporter, then the gypsy wanderlust took hold. While planning where her passport will take her next, she enjoys pajeon and makgeolli pit stops on hikes, badminton in the park, taking in Korea’s burgeoning art and fashion scenes and craft projects at home. Elaine tends to go wherever the wind carries her, and the most recent gust has swept her to Korea. After a stint in New York and Chile, the Califor- nia native now works as an editor in Seoul. When not editing for Groove or her newspaper, she’s off riding her motorbike along the Han, exploring the far corners of the peninsula, or sleeping. Elaine is Groove Korea’s Editorial Director. A native of Edinburgh, Scotland, Paul Sharkie caught the travel bug after spending several sum- mers in Asia, and dropped everything to head to Korea. What was meant to be a year turned into almost four and now he finds himself as Shinhan Bank’s foreign client relationship manager. Paul enjoys traveling, reading, exercising and dining, and fully admits that this is where all his money goes. Meeting new people is of paramount impor - tance — as is converting his friends to sensible banking. Paul writes the Money column. Rajnesh Sharma is a Canadian multimedia journalist who has traveled to nearly 30 countries to gain in- sight into cultural issues. When not enthralled with storytelling, she is intrigued by movies, reading and nature. A pristine beach, fine dining and dancing the night away are her remedies for relaxation. Visit her website at www.rajnesharma.com. Rajnesh contrib- uted the story “Stickin’ with it” to this month’s issue. Dean watches a lot of films, which, roughly trans- lated, means he’s a bit of a geek and spends a lot of time in dark rooms. He’s from London, where he worked in the film industry, spending time on the sets of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” and “X-Men: First Class,” among others. He is currently based in Jeonju. Dean writes the Korean DVD Cor - ner and At the Box Office columns. Rajnesh sharma Dean Crawford Canada U.K.
