| Introduction | I'm a British/Australian expatriate from the baby boomer era, living in Asia. I was born and went to school in the UK, started my career as a journalist in the print media, but spent most of my working life in broadcasting in Australia, before I moved to Malaysia in 1997 and then to the Philippines in 2010. I now work for an NGO based in Singapore involved in the production of media awareness campaigns in the Asia-Pacific region. My work takes me to some interesting places and I try to take advantage of any free time that I get to pursue my hobby of travel photography. I have a number of albums on TrekEarth and PBase which you can access through my xyzasia homepage. |
