I am a retired Science teacher who returned just before the pandemic from several years living and working in Asia. In Nepal I worked in 7 different regions around the country from the flat southern region bordering India to the high Himalayas close to the Tibetan plateau. In Nepal, while travelling around to improve local schools, I developed my love of birdwatching and became very interested in the flora and fauna of the region. I have also lived and worked in Bangladesh as well as travelling extensively worldwide. I love sharing my experiences including my recovery from cancer diagnosed in 2012
