Derek

Hello and welcome! I’m a former physics and ICT teacher, originally from the UK. I traded equations for adventure back in 2002. My journey started in the beautiful Seychelles and then took me to Hong Kong, where I eventually retired in 2016. Now, I’ve found a new home in the vibrant metropolis of Bangkok.
