China 
I've been all over the world. I worked in Germany for over four years and Italy for four years - Norway, the USA, Holland and India but to name a few. For quite some time now adventure and diverse cultures have given me the chance see things in a different light. I now live in China - working within the education system for the Government. I came here directly from France after working in the Alps – which was cool as I love skiing.

I’ve had my hand in every type of work there is – from joiner to furniture designer, chef to builder. I was in the forces for some years too - which enabled me to travel and see things I wouldn’t have normally seen. On leaving the forces I was a police officer for a while – which made realise in a way I wish I hadn’t – the whole episode opened my eyes too much for my own good I suppose.

As life hangs in the balance between good and evil, I can only hope that we – human kind – will be able to see beyond what we call our boarders – both mental and physical. As people get wiser we tend to accept differences that are normally associated with the “abnormal world” as I call it. But in reality we are all the same. We breathe the same air, fish in the same seas and oceans, and bleed the same colour when hurt. One day, I foresee people celebrating our differences in ore – well we can all dream…can’t we?

    ok...Essex....is this the name of the area? and is it in the US? because it looks a lot like somewhere called Essex in the UK....very similar indeed....have you ever been there? because you would know what I mean.....and being an outdoor man myself I see the similarities straight away...nice vid.
