Peter Legrove

When Peter LeGrove was at school he loved archaeology and cavemen. Now after spending his working life as an ‘English as a Second Language Teacher’ in many different countries he spends his time writing ‘Caveman Kids’ stories for children. Also after being inundated with doom and gloom news stories about Peak Oil, Global Warming and now pandemics he and his family try their hand at ‘Self-Sufficiency in Suburbia’ and ‘Living Cheap’ while using the internet to learn new skills.

Peter LeGrove started teaching English years ago in Mexico when he was learning Spanish at the University of Mexico City. Before that he did a course at the University of Minnesota about "Teaching Agricultural Extension in Developing Countries" and that opened his eyes to what you could teach with nothing except your voice and the chalkboard. Since then he has taught English mainly in Asia. He had a session in Indonesia before it went mad and then he left for China and Hong Kong.

Lately he has been in Vietnam teaching in Hanoi and volunteer teaching in poverty areas in North Vietnam. His whole life has been about teaching English in developing countries and now he spends six months teaching and the rest recovering in New Zealand to get away from the pollution and the crowded cities. In his spare time he writes books about his experiences in different countries and now he is trying his hand at illustrated children's books.
