About me

I'm an ex-expat, originally from Brighton, spent 9 years in Taiwan and have now returned to the UK, not quite sure where I'm going. I'm blogging about the experience of being an ex-expat and the reverse culture shock this entails. I'm hoping to use my writing skills in a future career.

I can speak English, Chinese (a little), Taiwanese (numbers, hello, thank you, how are you)

Interests

cosmology, cycling, futurology, physics, politics, writing
