James Richard Walter

Profession: Highschool English Teacher
English Language Instruction
I taught the Middle Years Program for two years at the British International School, an I.B. school.

In addition, I taught both teachers and parents of students English.

Intérêts: I am a former international racing cyclist. Before coming to Colombia where I have lived for more than 30 years I used to live and race principally in France but occasionally also in Italy. I ended prematurely my cycling career following a road traffic accident.

I then studied Modern Languages and Marketing at university and trained as a teacher. I have taught ever since in a variety of universities and bilingual schools.

I have two grown-up children from my first marriage and two youngsters from my second marriage. I live with my family in Puerto Colombia a small coastal town in a very beautiful spot on a hillside overlooking the Caribbean sea.

I am still passionate about cycling but I also enjoy sailing. I am a keen photographer and have studied filmmaking and created a film about the aviator and writer Antoine de St. Exupery.
