Great to have performed a new collaborative poem with Sarah Dawson at the EPL in Liverpool. A fantastic afternoon at the Open Eye Gallery and brilliant to see old poetry friends Alec Newman, Tom Jenks, Robert Sheppard, Steven Fowler, Tim Allen, Chris McCabe and David Spittle and to meet new people too. To see my perfomance with Sarah, follow the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpfIYEqk-kY

From Cubicles to Coconut Trees : A Retiree's Journey from the USA to Malaysia

A little over a year ago, one of my good friends, Jean Hew, told me that she have been watching this very interesting expat who's posting about his life on YouTube and he happens to be showcasing some houses around my area. Which means, he lives just nearby!

I checked out his videos and his voice is angelic, it's super calming like Frederic Chopin's Andante Cantabile. I emailed him, and introduced myself, the formal and traditional way, as he's not very active on Instagram back then and we quickly became good friends, and neighbors since he just lives across the street.

In this episode of In The Spotlight, I'm truly honored to be featuring my very good friend Andrew Taylor (  @andrewtaylor4558  ) to share with us his story and experiences of navigating and living in Malaysia as an American Expat, and how social media, particularly YouTube, have changed his life for the better. Do check out his YouTube Channel too. It's super interesting. I bet you'll be hooked!
