Nils Visser

Spent childhood and youth abroad in Asia, Africa, North America and Europe. Didn't have much to show for it at the end of the road, except for some great experiences, a host of friends, and a spoonful of English. Being fundamentally lazy, tries to make a living with the language skills of the latter, rather than learning new tricks or developing fresh skills. I.e. secondary school teacher of English by day, intrepid historical researcher and writer by night. Something of an Indiana Jones really. Well, a little bit, haven't got the hat yet.
