Joe Oklikah

 

Born and raised in London, and qualified as a CAD technician. After an experience living and working in the Highlands of Scotland he realised he was happier in more peaceful, natural surroundings. So in 2011 he moved to Slovenia with his wife and two young daughters to begin a new life in a new culture. Retrained as an audio engineer at SAE Ljubljana, and has since volunteered for Amnesty International Slovenia and other organisations. As a native English speaker in Slovenia he also works as a proofreader and translator. For Joe, the most important thing to him right now is raising his children and taking care of his family.
