Hi, i'm Carl, i'm 23, and I live and work in Derby but i'm originally from sunny Middlesbrough! I recently graduated from the University of Derby with a degree in Global Hazards (which is not even worth explaining).
I'm a pretty easy going guy, chatty and love having a laugh! I enjoy going out, watching football, meeting new people and generally having a bit of banter! I love music and going to gigs (mainly rock and indie), anything to do with Ricky Gervais, and going to new places!
I've signed up for the Thailand Internship in October so fingers crossed i'll get through all this work and get out there! I'm looking to meet people who are also doing the course or people who are already in Thailand that i can go to for advice!
Anyone who would like to have a chat and know more about me just ask!
Cheers, Carl x

Hey Carl,
Welcome to Chalkboard! I noticed you're originally from Middlesbrough, me too! Where about are you from?
I see you've enrolled on the Thailand Internship, how are you getting on with your course?

Hey Carl!
Yes, Im really excited! Just waiting to hear back from AYC, and for everything to be confirmed. I think Ill relax more when I know ive for sure got a place!
Im living in a city called Vigo, north of Portugal. Very beautiful area of spain, and its been a fantastic experience. But ready for something else now! I am from North Wales.
How about you? Where do you live?

Yep we will be the tall and short of it...what is it with you Northeners all being so bloody tall eh?!
Well I work as a lettings administrator / PA - its not what I ever had in mind but I found it really tough after uni to get an office job and I love the people - not a career path as such for me though! But its been good for the time I have been doing it and I want to get a year under my belt with this company which is why I will leave in September plus thats when my tenancy runs out in the flat so its perfect timing! Will go back to Kent for a month before the trip which has come at a great time for me - always said I would have a gap year and didn't have the opportunity and now I do so this perfect!
I'm a bit nervous about the placements as you don't know where you are until you get there but the fact we have an orientation for a week before is awesome - we can exchange numbers and all meet up! Fingers crossed we will all be fairly close together!
My twin is unidentical...she stole all my height (I'm 5ft and shes 7 inches taller than me which is just plain rude!) You got any siblings?
Life after uni is hard - a trip like this sounds perfect for you too! x
Ahh thats great, so do u know matt then you guys live in the same area right?
Yea Asia is fab have you been before? Its so exiting omg i really cant wait lol

Hi Carl - nice to meet you! I think I might get a little addicted to this website...a bit like my facebook page...hmm...anyway I have made a tiny dent in the tefl grammar course working a bit on it on Tuesday but thats it - so I practically have the whole course left to do - sounds like we are in the same boat! We've got loads of time to get it done though (I hope I don't keep telling myself that and then have to do serious cramming sessions)..I have forgotten any grammar though - when i first looked at it I had a slight panic wondering what the hell it was all about but when I started to do it it seemed okish.. so what do you do as a job? are you keeping the course on the quiet then? I'm not used to keeping secrets from the girls at work so its a bit weird but I absolutely cannot wait - i really need a change and this trip looks amazing! Will be weird to be away from my twin on our birthday though and xmas time but hopefully we will all be goiod friends to enjoy it all together! x
Nah, ive not finished mine yet. done the weekend course but hardly touched the online stuff.
All this application stuff's a bit scary, makes me nervous about being accepted, thought it ws more of a done deal than it appears to be!
ye my friends have said the same thing to........ cant wait.
well im actually from a place called ashbourne lol. so u must be near marketen island right ??
i currently live in a place called longford... near mickleover ?? so bout 10-15 mins away from derby.
small world hey?
just bin speaking to my friends and now she wants to come to ... yipeee :-)))
Alright, yet another fellow thai internship member. Just thought I'd say a quick hello! Kinda an excuse to take a break from the grammar course too to be honest! hehe. You done your course yet?
Anhow, just thought I'd say hello!
Leanne
