Stopping off to give Special classes : British man's lecture on 108 countries of travel - This is Stewart Green from the UK I have been travelling for 21 years through more than 108 countries, working as I travel in many diferent jobs ...from being paid to watch football, to being an English teacher in 7 countries to being in a movie with Jackie Chan. I will be coming to your town soon as I walk sections of the old Roman pilgrim road the Via Francigena north from Rome - One thing I do is stop off in smaller towns like yours and visit an English School to give a guest lecture. This is interesting for the students and they always have lots of questions so it gives them to practice their English by interacting with a native speaker. - If you think this would be interesting for your students please contact me to arrange a time. - I charge â?¬30 for a 1 hour presentation or â?¬50 for 2 presentations .. With a discount of â?¬15 if you can provide a room for me to sleep. - More information about me is available on my website. is walking a good way of travelling or good way of filling a lot of time - .. I have a mountain of internet work to do, but never get it done ..as in the morning I have to pack up and set off before it gets too hot. Walking needs so much attention ..I hardly listen to mp3then I have to rush around before things close at 1pm, then I have to rest cos it's too hot, time disappears as I check email, supermarket, wash, was clothes, repair. Plans

This is the house of the Lord. A place of silence and prayer, speak only to Him for your..dress: this is neither gym nor the beach...This is not a museum
