ABOUT ME

Hey,

I'm Mike, 28 and I come from England. I lived in Newcastle for many years and left the UK for Thailand when I was 25.

I have been living and working as a teacher here in Phuket for 2 years now. I love the place. I'm happy to show anybody visiting this fantastic island the sights....of which there are plenty!

I love to listen and play music which is my real passion in life. I also love the great outdoors. Kayaking and snorkelling around Phuket's many islands is something I do regularly and it never gets boring! I also enjoy playing badminton, tennis and squash.

So this is me in brief....want to know more please just ask!

PHILOSOPHY

Tolerance and acceptance is the key to harmony. If more people thought this way then the world would be a better place. Don't you agree?
