As a writer, creative professional and avid Self Help Junkie I have spent many years studying the psychological dynamics of relationships. From emotional breakthrough workshops, personality profiling systems such as The Enneagram to Eastern philosophies such as Buddhism and Taoism my journey has brought me to the amazing and colorful world of Intercultural relationships, mainly in part to my second marriage to a wonderful woman from Thailand. This relationship and the time I have spent living and travelling South East Asia has taught me much about the subtle complexities of such relationships and also the perils and delicate balance required in often having to maintain a long distance relationship online due to logistal requirements. The sensitive balance of cultural and language differences combined with the perspective of a second marriage has enabled me to provide insightful advice, ideas and tips to others and it is my pleasure to use my talents, skills and experience to help people find harmony in their relationships.
