Hong Kong is not China, if you disagree, please complain to China as they don't even allow Hongkongers to transit through it without a permit.

I ran a school at 22.

I was detained by the Argentine military as I ventured into a military base and got away with it. I was also detained by the Ukrainian military as I attempted to go to the frontline.

I swam in the Black Sea off Odesa as the anti-missile system blocked drones and gunshots sounded.

I've taught people from 78 nationalities and have lived in 6 countries on 4 continents.

I flew 67 times in 2024, visited 51 countries in the process.

I've touched all the world's oceans - all 7 seas.
