Hey, I’m Sir Sicat! I used to teach English in Taiwan, and now I’m figuring things out in Australia. Sharing my ups and downs, hoping they inspire, teach, or maybe just make you feel something. One thing I’ve learned from living abroad? There’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’—just how you play your cards. This is me playing mine, and I’d love for you to join me on this wild ride. Let's shine together?
