Hi all,
I recently released a book, 鈥楶edals, Paddles and Potholes鈥� telling my story of extreme adversity, overcoming it, and eventually kayaking across Bass a Strait. The Melbourne & Sydney launch have gone very well and I will be in Penang from 21 - 28 May.
I would like to connect with the ex-pat community (my partner Charmaine lived in Penang for 5 years as a teenager and we are considering residence there). I also wondered if you would be interested in a presentation on the story whilst we are in town. I am told it is a captivating story and well told 馃槉.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Warmest regards
Paul

There are many Facebook groups for Penang. (Malaysia runs on FB). One that might be interesting is PACCAM Penang Arts Culture Creativity and Music. Penang also has a Literary Festival
