I'm a teacher and education designer. I help startup founders, focusing on practical education and peer-support approaches.
I live in Sofia, Bulgaria, work mainly all over Europe, and these days am often in London, around Africa or in Roma communities. You can contact me at smile@saintsal.com and stay in touch by getting my posts and essays by email.
Oh, and if you're wondering about the "Saint" in the SaintSal moniker, watch this film.
