ABOUT ME

I've taught in Tanzania, China, South Sudan and Spain.
I have a penchant for cycling. To date I've completed three cycle tours; the first one from Berlin back to Welshpool, the second from Welshpool down to Gibraltar and a third cycling around Mid and South Wales.
I'm currently living in Hangzhou, China.
