About

My name is Ian. I have done a good deal of traveling, not as much as some people, but I have been to about 20 countries, lived in Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan. In the USA I have lived in 8 States in the west and east.

In the last 20 years: teaching abroad, street performing, snowboarding, practicing judo/bjj, making art of some sort, and working on my van most recently.

Other than that.. 

There’s my website ESLinsider. That’s about my experience teaching Engrish in Asia and for people who want to do the same or even teach abroad elsewhere.

I am very excited about jiu-jitsu and judo. Here’s a video of a judo competition I did in Japan.

I like scratching records and some hip hop.

WICKKY, WICKKY, WO, WO, WO, WOW, WOW, WOWOWOW!!!

HAHA..

I practice yoga and meditation daily. That’s about 15 minutes of yoga and at least 20 minutes of meditation everyday. That’s part of my daily routine. I’d say I am a bit on the inconsistent side with jobs, hobbies, and places I call home. But I’ve been practicing yoga daily for 25 years and meditation for about 16 years. It’s like brushing your teeth, you feel icky if you don’t do it.

Other than that…

I like to read and learn about things.

And…

In a former life I was a painter (what I studied in college) and you can check out some of my paintings here.

Personality tests said I am a INFP and if you like personality tests I’d recommend Jordan Peterson’s Big 5 test. It cost like $8, but it’s more detailed and personalized than others. It was quite interesting.

So anyways that’s a bit about me.

I don’t do much social media stuff. A little for ESLinsider and a couple of Youtube channels:

  • ESLinsider Mostly about teaching in Asia and stuff that makes sense. 8,000+ subscribers
  • Ian Leahy on Youtube Art, jiu-jitsu, and stuff that doesn’t make sense. 210 Subscribers
