This is the first and last time I will train for 6 months to run a half marathon! It was very rewarding, but not my cup of tea!

I was so lucky to be able to have a graduation party right before the big lockdown hit! Benjamin Snitker is now a MAster of Science in Teaching and Learning!

It's great to have a constant companion in an animal, even a wild guy like Goose. Goose is my French bulldog and he is definitely a handful. I thought bulldogs were supposed to be calm! 

For the term break I was able to go, with my girlfriend, to Lang Co. We played golf, relaxed by the beach and pool, and had a great break. I am looking forward to the next one!

Being able to see the Taj Mahal was one of the first times that I realized what an incredible opportunity I took in teaching abroad. 

My dear friend Russell took this picture. He was my multi-pitch climbing partner whilst I was living in Chiang Mai, Thailand. My life was great there, but to move forward sometimes you have to go off-belay.

I'm trying out my professional photo shoot face. How does this one look? - Benjamin Lucas Snitker

For many years in Thailand Benjamin Lucas Snitker volunteered at the Ban Dek Dee Orphanage. Every other Wednesday, after a long day teaching primary years science at Prince Royal's College, he would go with a group, buy food to cook, make dinner, and teach an English lesson to the underserved orphans.

Building and floating Kratongs was a simple pleasure to unwind after a long week of teaching.
