ABOUT ME

 

Born and bred in Durban, South Africa, in a suburb known for it's "burly" people - The Bluff.

Despite the stigma of "Rough and tough and from The Bluff", I grew up quite timid.

​

After High School I went on to work in marketing, then deciding to drop the pretentious life and save the world - I became a High School English and Biology teacher. 

​

I went on to teach at my Alma mater - Durban Academy - on The Bluff, where I taught for six-and-a-half years.

​

But something snapped in me one day, I couldn't stand the stagnation of the routine life.

Living my Life like a somnambulistic cow to the slaughter house, I felt I needed change, EXCITEMENT!

​

I resigned that very day - 2 February 2016. No work prospects, no guarantee of a future.

It was the best thing I had ever done!

​

Work offers started flowing in my direction and by the end of July I found myself on an Emirates plane headed to Jakarta to teach at one of the city's foremost International Schools.

​

And now, three months on, 06 November 2016, I've started this blog to document my comings, goings, Life, Loves and Adventures in Jakarta and Indonesia at large.
