I’m meant to be an English teacher, but Vietnam has a habit of throwing new, unexpected opportunities and experiences at you on an almost daily basis so I seem to have unwittingly become a Jack-of-all-trades. In my spare time I’ve recently taken up writing, here are a few pieces I’ve managed to convince people to publish:
