Introduction

I'm an American English instructor working in Jizan,Saudi Arabia. Previously I worked in Taiwan teaching for more than 6 years and in Thailand before that. I'm a widower. I'm pretty outgoing and not shy. It's really boring and kind of lonely here. I work with only males, teach only males and sometimes I get tired of living in an all-male world here. I don't live in a big city like Riyadh or Jeddah. I live in a small backwater called Jizan, near the Yemeni border and the Red Sea. It's a quiet place.There's nothing for me and my co-workers to do except go to work and make lesson plans. When not working or doing something work-related, I stay busy surfing the net and hoping to make some good friends here to pass the time in a nice way. I have additional info in my profile.

I joined expat.com on 19 October 2010.

I've been to so many countries either in my previous military career or later as a teacher, but I'll confine my information to my latest job prior to coming to KSA. I recently came here from Taiwan where I worked for 6 years. Prior to that I worked in Thailand. I'm retired career military but I still love to travel and see the world. Taiwan was great. I had a good time there.

Now that I look back on it, I can't say that I really had any major dislikes about the place. It was a good gig or I wouldn't have stayed as long as I did.
