Who I am
- Greg,the expat who found his home
Well,my name is Gregory Barr and I am a 45 year old man born in Birmingham,England.I was fortunate enough to be born in to a Royal Naval family.This in turn offered me the opportunity to enroll at The Royal Hospital School,Holbook,UK.This is a public boarding school,of which I attended 5 years.This was to set the stage for my travelling for the next 10 years.In 1988 I met a Finnish lady in London,and with in 4 months we were married and I moved abroad to Helsinki,Finland.
I devour good literature,listen to others point of view and enjoy meeting people with differing cultures,religions views and open mindedness

I am not an expert,I am merely a man who has chosen his own path.For me it has worked out.The things I write may not suite every one.However they have given me much enjoyment and have had a positive effect on my life.In Hindsight,I have achieved more when my back is against the wall.
