James Clapham - Vimpel Photography
After winning his Creative Writing Diploma, James Clapham moved to Slovakia. He currently works as an English teacher there, and is also on the leadership team in his town's church plant ('Most' translated: the Bridge), plays lead guitar in the band there and is quickly gaining experience with working with kids and youth. His focus is on music (with the odd interview or two of a band), social networking, Christian-related experiences and advice about living as an expat.
Not only has he got his own blog (Scribblings of an Expat) where he details his life overseas, but he's working on a book associated with it.
James was promoted to Feature Writer in May 2011.
