Asia: an Expat Adventure
À propos de cet e-book
Tim shoots from the hip in this anthology of all that is wrong (and a few things that are right) about teaching English in the Far East. ASIA: An Expat Adventure is half I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell and half Frommers; its an essential guide for anybody who wants an insiders view on the agony and the ecstasy (mostly the agony) of ESL life. There are plenty endearing qualities about Tims memoirs, not the least of which is his ability to trudge on when others would have bought the next ticket home. As Tim looks back at his beer-soaked escapades through the clarity and wisdom that hindsight provides, we are granted a view of a man who is as resilient as he is ill-fated, and a world that is as perplexing as it is alluring.

leaving behind not just his country, but his mind, as he slowly deconstructs his old life (quite literally in some cases, given the numerous surgeries he details) and reassembles the parts into a story worth telling. We all have one. This is his. Enjoy it!

À propos de l'auteur
Born and raised just outside of Boston in a small city, Timothy Marc Pelletier has achieved a level of success few would have expected: At the age of 12, Timothy’s school psychologist told his parents he would never make it past the eighth grade. Taking this in stride, Timothy learned a valuable life lesson and became determined to never let anything get in his way. He has endured many struggles throughout his life, including being partially paralyzed in a car accident at the age of 18. At the age of 29, he gave up everything he owned in search of a new beginning in Seoul, South Korea. Now at age 34, he has become a leader amongst the community, and is currently the managing partner of his own company. In his free time, Timothy enjoys traveling more than anything else. He has visited more than 30 countries learning about culture and people; speaks Mandarin Chinese, Korean, French, and English: and is always looking for his next adventure. With several years of business experience and international travel, Timothy is a trainer/speaker who offers a wealth of knowledge on how to overcome the obstacles in our everyday life.Paste your document here
