Description
I am Errol. I was born on a small island call Taiwan, but my mind as vast as the universe. Since when I was little, I am always dreaming about to travel around the world and to learn something new or do something new. So far, I have been to over twenty countries. Most countries I traveled from Southeast Asia because it is really intriguing to me. I have been to Thailand for learning Traditional Thai Massage. I pass the exam and got the National Thai Massage Certification from the Thailand government. I am just a tall guy who likes to run and nature and challenge myself. I have been to Kenya for marathon training and competed in the 2015 Kenya National Cross Country Championship (position: 70). And also have been to Japan for training with professional athletes. I like some Japanese culture a lot. In these few years, I have completed three marathons of the World Marathon Majors. The 2015 Berlin Marathon (2:50), the 2017 Boston Marathon (2:55), and the 2019 Chicago Marathon (2:41). And now, I converted the sports item to cross country skiing from long-distance running. Just join the National Team of Cross Country Skiing (FIS code: 3130011) in early 2020. I have been tried some kinds of different jobs. Like the teaching, massage therapist, and selling stuff…etc. But, I would like to say that I am an athlete. “There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” ― Nelson Mandela

Errol was an excellent guest!

Errol was great company. He has a refreshing naivete about what a good sense of humor and personality he has. He could tell me stories that would give me the best laugh of the day. I am very busy with work and school but he had an uncanny way of knowing when I was too busy to talk and when to share some… read more

Thank you for the 1 month period that you have been with my family. My family is very glad that you taught me my son. I know you have to be patient and try a lot because my son is in a very young and naughty age.You are an amazing person, a fighter, a marathon runner. And more importantly, you are the teacher that my son loves so much.Thank you… read more

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart. This was a wonderful work away experience to me. I was the first one who joined this lovely family in 2019. I stay around for one month (10th March ~ 6th April). The mission in here was teaching English to Hagen who is a little boy… read more

It was very nice time with Errol. As he runs in marathons, so he is very fit. He gave us tips to be physically fit. He has a motive to see everybody fit and fine. He motivated a lot of persons. There is a very positive impact on me of his thoughts. He is determined and always ready to help. I would like to host him again.

He is sincere, and fun to be with. We went to gym together, and he gave me tips on running and weight loss. Also, due to him I was able to get up early. :) And as it was always raining in Mumbai, which is not his kind of weather, but, still were able to explore Mumbai. Nice to share food, talks and his passion to run. See you soon... In summer or… read more

Thanks Errol, I just talked with him, he is not one of our local teachers. He is an office assistant and always helps volunteers. Sure, It was miss communication. He guides, volunteers for seeing elephants and hiking. Any of us never yelled at the volunteers. We love volunteers, without volunteers we can't carry on our teaching activities.. Sorry… read more

I just met Janaka two days before I left. The most time he was busy in India. I was teaching English here around three weeks. I stayed with the local family and it was a very good experience. But here is remote area and some local teachers are narrow-minded. It was a little tough for me to teach there. One day, a local teacher just opened the door… read more

Erol was supposed to stay a few weeks, he stayed nearly 4. Very easy going and so kind to the kids. He cooked some great breakfasts for the other volunteers and was so gentle and funny with the kids. He made a fort with the kids and into this construction they put tvs, frying pans, remote controls and a list of fort rules: " no adults allowed". it… read more
