now

This page was inspired by Derek Sivers. It’s to give a quick summary of what I’m doing right now, as opposed to the general overview of the ‘About’ page.

What am I up to in January 2026? I’m:

  • living in Timor-Leste, where I’m working as an English language facilitator
  • publishing a book in instalments about Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and my walk across Wales in Gawain’s footsteps
  • starting a new phase of my life involving:
    • Fitness: swimming, reviving my baguazhang practice, learning the basics of pencak silat
    • Getting esoteric: studying divinatory techniques, studying the use of language and imagery to affect change via linguistics and discourse analysis, hypnotherapy and ceremonial magic
    • Integrating the study and use of language with coaching
