CURRENT MISSION

To teach English in Asia or anywhere it takes me!

ABOUT ME

My name is Ben. Ive done school & university, and like most people my age in my area I have found myself stuck in a job totally unrelated to my Geography degree, and going through that phase where I just don't fancy working in this current job much longer.

Since visiting Thailand in May 2009 with a couple of friends & meeting a wonderful lady I have come to realise (although I had my suspicions) that the life I wish to lead is not to be found here, in England, but infact abroad, most likely in Asia.

I'm quite a laid back person, I just go with the flow but also like to have targets and goals so i know that i'm not just doin something for nothing. This thought provoked the plan for going back to Thailand next year, in that it has given me something to work towards.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's too short to worry. Do what YOU want and not always what OTHERS want. People get ill through worrying, stress isn't good for the body or mind so just sit back relax and unwind.
