Purpose of LegitLivelihoods

Purpose of LegitLivelihoods:

To share legitimate stories about people's livelihoods that I have gathered over the past 4 years living and working in the UK, Vietnam and Myanmar, and travelling around fast-changing Asia.

I intend this blog to be read by those interested in learning about the Global South but may not be fortunate enough to be able to visit or live here to share such learning.  As such, this blog is aimed at current and aspiring academics and practitioners in the field of International Development.

I welcome research questions from all spheres relating to the lives of people living in the Asia (especially in Vietnam, where I currently reside) and will try to accommodate them as possible.

All photography is mine.  Please reach out if you'd like higher resolution copies.

I hope that you find inspiration from these remarkable people's stories.
