Introduction
I was born in Birmingham,UK.My father was in the Royal Navy,so I travelled ever since I was 5.I myself joined the Merchant Navy in 1980 and travelled the world for 8 years,countries include most of north and south america,the ivory coast and europe.I met a lady in London in 1988 and within 3 months mI was married and moved to Finland.I have been here much of the time but you cannot keep an old dog down,so I have travelled too Russia and the Ukraine.I think now I shall stop moving so much and as a result have set up my site telling my defeats and victories
I joined expat.com on 29 April 2009.

Expat experience
I enjoy blogging,it has given me a whole new direction in my Life.I am attenmpting to study more web design skills,Search Engine Marketing and optimisation.In my free time I enjoy being able to walk in the surrounding nature and think undisturbed
The safe feeling one gets when in Finland is unbelievable.The nature is stunning with so many beautiful lakes.There is also a natural weather phenomena named,"The Northern Lights"or Aurora Borealöis.WHEN SEEN FOR THE FIRST TIME IT TOOK MY BREATHE AWAY!Myself and my Finnish wife have a country house in Lappeenranta,Eastern Finland.We try to visit the place 2 times a year.I can attempt some gardening and collect forrest mushrooms and berries,Very many in Finland
Nothing really.I don`t miss England.I do wish that there were more css/html/php courses that I could attend
