British writer based in Singapore. My work is flexible enough to allow me to travel, so I try to nip around Asia as much as possible. In been living in the region almost 4 years now. Before that I used to co-run a teaching organise in China, where we took 20 English volunteers to China each summer - it was a lot of fun and is largely why I fell in love with Asia in the first place.

I'm very chatty, very tall and I laugh a lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In China during the Olympic opening ceremony I was in a small city watching an out door screen with a couple of hundred Chinese people. They saw me there and treated me as if I was famous. I was brought up onto a stage, given a giant Chinese flag and I got the how crowd chanting along with me, it was pretty special.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm red hot at writing.
And in the back of my mind, I still remember a bit from my teaching days.
