Stuart settled in Thailand after backpacking across Southeast Asia, serving as an underpaid, under-skilled language instructor, an embassy worker and a website creator for the newspaper. He co-authored two travel guides previous to all those non-work jobs, one to Vietnam and one to Thailand.
He also travels a lot of the time still to this day, and can sleep wherever, anytime — even on the path to Bokor. This points out he's got narcolepsy! His favorite reading is Alain de Botton 's Art of Transportation.
