About

Hi. My name is Patrick (Padraig) Crowe and I am from Ireland. I have taught english in Government highschools in Thailand for the last 12 years. I have enjoyed my time in Thailand very much, but now I would like to teach in a Vietnam and experience a whole new culture. I am a very young and healthy 59 and I am looking forward to a new challenge. My preference is for highschools as that is where I have a lot of experience. Thank you. . . . Patrick
