Name and a little bit about you:
 
Hi, I’m Sam Bingham. I have been an English and History teacher for 8 years.
 
Where is “home” for you?
 
Home is a place called Louth – a North-Eastern County in Ireland (the smallest). Specifically, I’m from a town called Ardee. It is quite a rural place– everyone knows everyone else! I have four siblings and two parents who still all live there. I’ve been abroad for five years now (London, Luton, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi – this is my second year in the city).

What do you do in Abu Dhabi?

Running, lots of running. Hunting for great restaurants or going to the movies with my friends. I also have a weakness for quiz nights.
  
Tell us something that few people know about you:

I dabbled in journalism for several years, locally. I was a moderately okay middle-distance runner and have Leinster (a province in Ireland) medals for 800m, 1500m and 3,000m.
 
What is your favourite thing about being a part of the BIS Abu Dhabi community?

The staff, students and parents have been very welcoming. I feel part of something wholesome.
 
What do you enjoy most about living in Abu Dhabi?

It would be quicker to list the things that I don’t enjoy.
 
Anything else you would like to share?

Looking forward to getting to know everyone.
