Peter England
Profession: English Language Centre Manager, United Arab Emirates
English Language Instruction, Education
Overseeing all aspects of the language center's operations ensuring its smooth functioning, growth, and success.
Intérêts: Now, I may be a die-hard Anglophile (that's someone who's crazy about all things British, in case you didn't know), but let me tell ya, I'm all about learning about other countries and cultures too. In fact, I've been lucky enough to live and work in some pretty sweet places like Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE - Abu Dhabi, Dubai), and I've checked out some seriously cool spots like Bali, Corfu, Crete, Cyprus, Egypt, France, Holland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Oman, Portugal, Spain, Sri Lanka, Switzerland and the good ol' USA.
Now, I don't just spend my time globe-trotting, mind you. I'm also a bit of a fitness fanatic. Yep, I run a solid 100 km each and every month and I've racked up over 5,500 km since 2018. Impressive, right? And when I'm not pounding the pavement, you can usually find me jamming out to some fresh tunes or catching up on the latest podcasts. Oh, and I'm a huge movie buff too!
But wait, there's more! I'm also what you might call a thalassophile (that's someone who's absolutely in love with the ocean, in case you were wondering) and a total photography aficionado. In fact, I've even put together a book of my best snaps. So yeah, you could say I'm a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, but hey, I'm always up for trying new things and exploring new horizons. Let's go!
