Paul Bartlett
Paul Bartlett was born in southern England in 1962. After graduating in 1985 with a degree in Cultural Studies he spent the next 5 years or so working in a series of dead-end temporary jobs in London in order to finance trips around Europe.
Then he hit upon the idea of teaching English as a means of combining making money with travel. Since 1992 he has lived in Greece, Czech Republic, Russia, Spain, Uzbekistan and now Kazakhstan, where he lives with his partner, Jo, who is similarly afflicted with the travel bug. In that time he has traveled all over the former Soviet Union and ventured into China, India and Thailand. He has been writing about his travels for the last 5 years. He is an easy-going individual who sees work as a means to provide the money for future trips to obscure parts of Asia. He is currently trying to adjust the work-life balance more in favour of life, having tired of working full time for other people.Paul Bartlett has written:
