CURRENT MISSION

To boldly go where no man has gone before. Or to just be happy.

ABOUT ME

Hi my name is Dan and I'm a teacher. I'm an outgoing person and I feel very comfortable with most people. I am an adventurous person and I like challenging myself with new experiences.

I have travelled and loved in numerous places around the world including Australia, France, South East Asia and the Middle East.

I love participating in many sports including swimming, tennis, rugby, football and cricket. I can also play the piano and guitar. I recently discovered meditation and spent the last winter in a buddhist monastery although I wouldn't say that I'm a Buddhist!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Awestruck? Let me see.

The Blue Mountains in Australia were pretty amazing. I loved learning to Scuba dive in Thailand. It's a different world down there! Essentially though its all about the company. Travelling the East Coast of Australia with my best friends was very special indeed.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teacher a bit of guitar and piano. I am a maths teacher by trade so I can always help with that if you need. I also have experience teaching English as a foreign language so I'm happy to share that too. I have done quite a bit of meditating and reading about psychology during the last few years which I'm always happy to talk about.

I can share by goodwill, friendly persona, cooking, shopping, cleaning, stories, tutoring (English, Maths, music).
