A thoughtfully written article, Jack. While you are “stuck” in Borneo, why not write about your life there? I’ve never been to Borneo even though it’s quite close to me geographically. My eldest daughter taught English overseas for more than ten years during which time she had three world trips - two of them for almost a year - so it can be done. My youngest son is a tour operator and was doing quite well for himself until the pandemic. He, too, started his travel by teaching English overseas. So I think you’re on the right path, if there is such a thing. Keep on keeping on.
