Hello everyone, I am an Englishman from London. After passing my A-Levels I went to the University of Sussex to study Mathematics with Management studies. Although I was good at maths, my heart was never in it. I then went on to work in the Insurance industry in London for 10 years, but again, even though I was very good at it and took professional qualifications up to the level of Dip CII, the hustle and bustle of the rat race was never really for me. I decided to go travelling in Asia and started working in schools and colleges teaching English, I took my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course and rediscovered my passion for the English language. I then began to teach English online and writing blogs for a rival company. I have been teaching and writing professionally for more than 10 years now. I write articles to order from 'leather fingerless driving gloves' to 'acupuncture' to 'trout fishing'. If I am presented with a topic, I will research it thoroughly and provide a tailor-made piece in a timely fashion.
On a personal level, I love sports. I have a black belt in taekwondo, a black belt in kickboxing, I have also trained in Western boxing and Muay Thai for 32 years. I love swimming too, I used to like running and ran the London Marathon in 2010. Additionally, I have tried some extreme sports such as parachute jumping, parascending and water skiing before. I love travelling, I have travelled throughout most of Western Europe, I have been to most countries in Asia, I have additionally been to America several times, Australia and Africa. It would be my dream to take my wife and daughters to South America and Antarctica to complete the list of continents.
I am a firm believer in self-development and I have a wide-range of interests including: science, history, economics, finance, languages, travel, cooking and sports. I consider myself to have a broad general knowledge and a lot of life experience for my years (I'm only 45). Another point about me is that I am a bit of a computer geek, despite never having formal lessons in this capacity, I can strip a laptop down and rebuild it myself, I know pretty much everything there is to know about software and always keep myself up to date on the new technologies; my typing speed is pretty fast too. I can and have built my own websites before, but I am not good at coding. I have a family who depend on my financial support, so you can always count on me to work my hardest and deliver the goods. In a nutshell, that's me.
Most of my recent blogs are via a competitor, so I don't feel comfortable sharing them with you here. You can check out some old blogs that I started off. This one was about affiliate marketing, I decided to put my own advice into practise though rather than teaching others. It gives an introduction to affiliate marketing, moves on to how to choose the right affiliate company, how to maximise internet traffic including SEO and finishes with a focus on CPA marketing which was a hot topic then.

Similarly, I set up this blog a long time ago as a tool to get traffic to my affiliate link. I took my own advice and traded myself and made some good money. If you are interested, I have a new YouTube channel I have created on this too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85WBMGDEwmw

Why Use Leather Driving Gloves? Well, to answer this question comprehensively, I would suggest we break this down into two smaller questions, namely “Why use driving gloves at all?” and “Why leather in particular?” Why use driving gloves at all? If you ever watch Formula 1 drivers, like Lewis Hamilton, or IndyCar drivers, such as Scott Dixon, you will see that they all wear gloves. This is simply because it gives you more control over the car and helps you to be the best driver you can possibly

Trout Fishing: The Perfect Way to Spend a Sunday Afternoon Picture this: it’s a beautiful Sunday afternoon, the sun is shining and you make your way down a winding forest path, then you happen upon the perfect river full of trout.
