Lee, all the way to the left, enjoying a game of putt putt golf in Mexico

When I first started working for Projects Abroad in 2005, my second week was spent at our Headquarters in the UK learning the ropes. I learned a lot (as well as listened to a lot of Keane!) with Lee Bronze who was a Programme Advisor at that time. He showed me how to give presentations and regaled me with stories from his time in Mexico. Let’s hear what he is up to!

It’s now almost 8 years since I was teaching in China with Projects Abroad. I am now a practising Employment lawyer as such I am still using the skills I learnt from that experience today such as speaking in public, thinking of my feet and dealing with all sorts of people and problems (the two though are of course are often interlinked with my clients!).

I perhaps realise that I am now getting old as I think to myself ‘where does all the time go?’. Since that time I have travelled to 3 other Projects Abroad destinations; I soaked up some summer time sun in Senegal, embraced in full the cult of Dracula in Transylvania, Romania and went to Mexico for 5 months. I stayed for a year mind you but that just shows how great an experience I had.

I have now landed back to Earth with a bump perhaps it hits home hardest when I am stranded waiting for a judgment to be delivered, I long for just half a chance to be enjoying foreign climbs. I am so glad I went off but how long until I can do it again???? It seems that there is only one cure for those itchy feet…
