Hi Guys and Gals
Just thought I would post a qiuck hello and an intro. My name is Pete and Im an Environmental Scienctist who has taken a sabatical for a while - maybe forever :) I have a wide range of interests including surfing, hot rods, an old harley or two, collecting art, interior design and a whole lot more in between.

I have been to Bali four times previously and am on my way back in mid April for 2 months, having rented a little villa in Kuta. Really love the place and if I could find a way to use my skills in a maeningful way I'd jump right in. I have just got involved in one Bali charity but am interested to learn more about others. Would also consider a full time position in my field as well.

Well I wont take up anymore of your time and I'll go back reviewing past threads so I dont re-ask those questions already posted. Thanks.

Cheers
Pete

PS If possible I'd like to catch up with a few expats who are "living the dream" whilst Im there this trip to chat about any oppurtunities for an expat like myself.

Hi panhead

...If possible I'd like to catch up with a few expats who are "living the dream" whilst I'm there this trip to chat about any opportunities for an expat like myself...

I'm an expat "living the dream", more or less. Not sure of currently available opportunities for environmental scientists in Bali, but I met one from Canada a few years ago. He didn't earn much money but he still keeps coming back.

You're welcome to visit us, if you like. Just send a PM (personal message) for contact details.
We live in Sanur and over a dozen posters from this forum have visited in the recent past. No complaints so far.

:D

Hi Pete, good to have another petrolhead aboard, myself and few other expats have started a petrolhead club, if you're interested in meeting over a beer or two, send me a pm and we can arrange to meet up.
