I'm a Brit living in Brunei in South-East Asia, and I've also lived in Central Europe and China. I'm a Pure Land Buddhist as well as a linguist/communications/media person who originally trained as a historian. As a teacher and researcher in scientific English I'm also interested in the sciences, especially the biosciences. So a bit of a jack of all trades, master of none - which makes Twine the ideal place for me.
