 * Special Brew Man

Currently (as of 2012) doing the rounds teaching in companies in São Paulo, Brazil. SPM is a New Zealander in his 30s who got caught up in China in his 20s. His China phase was interrupted by one teaching gig in a high school for rich kids in Chile and several trips home. Despite the money in China being pretty good in the end, at 29 he wanted to get the out of Dodge. He tried to live back in New Zealand but couldn´t take it. He left again to work in a hostel in Argentina - a country where the buck is not the almighty king.


 * Blog

SPM´s blog (specialbrewman.blogspot.com) focused on the unwashed characters encountered as a teacher abroad that you wouldn´t want to admit to knowing back home. There was also a lot of material about what it is like to live in the world´s biggest metropolises while being neither rich nor local: from what to eat with 30 cents in your pocket, to getting treatment for STDs.
