I 'come from' a career in television production - broadcast and corporate; programme concept development, scripting and direction. Circumstance necessitated a change in career direction and, as I have been 'working' with the English language all my life, a TESOL course seemed a natural progression! I am married and will be travelling with my wife. We enjoy discovering new ideas, cultures and environments ... and the people that are 'in' these; the discovery or learning process is a life-long journey and keeps my mind and my imagination 'alive'. We will be in Rome, Italy from February 2013 and looking to meet with people who can give us some good, practical information on 'life in Italy'! I have been offered a job in Rome at a school near the Vatican City and am looking for double accommodation for +/- six months ... double room, flat or house to share.
I joined expat.com on 14 July 2011.

I have been instrumental at a senior production level in the opening of 5 channels in the southern African region.
