About Me

I am a laid back relaxed man from Eastbourne, England that loves meaningful experiences with other people, learning new things and broadening my life experience & thinking . I have been living and working in Hai Phong City, Vietnam as a teacher but now, after one year I have finished and I am now driving down to Ho Chi Minh City on my motorbike making stops along the way - I would love to meet you!!

Music, Movies, and Books

The list is huge! I listen to all sorts of music such as classic rock, metal, hip hop, and pop music but I really enjoy possibly most of all is world music! My top favourite movies are probably Forrest Gump, the first Spider-Man movie and possibly pearl harbour. I watched Avengers Endgame recently and I was completely blown away by it! Maybe that’s my new all time favourite! I don’t do enough reading! I must do more ! 😀

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The thing that
I do in life currently is a mix mash of sustainable Global Development work such as, community development and youth support I’ve led a project in Bangladesh, and also worked on similar things in Vietnam, the US and in the UK (with more places on the list to go) I guess the thing I am really proud of is really just a part of everything that I have done. I have seen positive personal development in children and teenagers that are a result of my hard work and encouragement - as well as positive impact on communities too, among other things. Oh! I am very proud that I completed the UKs hardest marathon, it was a killer 26 miles of hills 😂

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to sit and have meaningful conversations over a drink, visit places and do things together! I hope to share some of my personality and culture with you, and I will even bring you a special gift just for you! I love to give gifts 😂
