Welcome :-)

Hi,

For those who don't know me, I'm Pete. I'm an Englishman who has bounced around the world in various places and recently took up the challenge of teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in Bratislava, Slovakia. The profession really resonates with me, is challenging and will give me a good chance to do the travelling and world exploration that I really want to do.

I've only been in Bratislava for two days so far but I will be using this blog as a way to chronicle my teaching experience as well as give some impression of what it is like to live in and learn about a new culture.

So there's the brief introduction. I will post more in the coming days as I get the time to absorb everythings that is happening and that I'm seeing. I have many pictures to upload already and I look forward to sharing everything with people.

All the best,

Pete

PS: I'm reading Bram Stoker's Dracula at the moment. It really resonates a lot more when you know the Western Carpathians are just a few dozen kms away. Perhaps a visit to Transylvánia will be in order while I'm here.
