Hi,

My name is Steve Metcalfe and am new to this forum. I found it during a google search and decided to join.

I'd like to share a bit of information about myself ......

If I could only share one thing with you about me it would be That I'm a Geophysicist and I have been working offshore on research vessels for the past 14-15 years. This role has taken me all over the world from Tasmania in Australia, throughout S/E Asia, India, Africa, Brazil, Mexico, USA & Canada. It has been a very rewarding experience, for I have met many great people from different countries and cultures. Aside from that I'm praising my lucky stars for one of the greatest decisions I ever made in my life, that effects me to this very day, was my decision to live in Thailand. In April of 1996 I decided to live on the island of Phuket. This is where I met my beautiful wife, Apuntee. I still can remember to this very day in one of my wife's very early letters, she had written that she dreamed of the day when she'd be married to me living in our own house with our own beautiful children. Now, my wife and I live in Perth, Western Australia happily married with our three very happy daughters Jessica, Sharlene & Namfon who are 6, 8 & 14 years of age.

Collectively, I've spent over 7 years of my life working offshore and unfortunately away from my beautiful family. Now I'm determined to look elsewhere so to generate a replacement income which will return me home with my family.

At present I'm writing this from one of our vessels off the Island of Palawan in the Philippines. the weather has turn "sour", very rough almost like a roller coaster ride so we're heading for shelter.

I hope this generates some responses. I'm looking forward to hearing from other forum users.

Have yourself the Best Day Ever.

Regards,

Steve.

Oh you can, can you? Where would you rather be? Why do you hope for this generates some responsesI've never thought about have yourself the Best Day Ever.

I joined the forum to post a question to information that I found on google.

I don't understand the remainder of your post Amanda.

Did you experience peer pressure? Oh you don't understand? Perhaps I can explain it to you better. Which part are you confused about?
