"I was born and raised in and around London. When I graduated from high school, I worked the night shift in a factory and managed to save some money. I wanted to go on holiday to America, but I couldn't get a visa. So, at 19, I ended up going to Mauritius. It was a big journey back in those days."
"In Mauritius, I met a lot of South Africans, who encouraged me to visit their country. I said, "Why not?" I didn't have a girlfriend at that point. I went to South Africa and lived there for nine years. That's where I met my wife, Beverley, who was born and grew up in Johannesburg. We had three children, but the political climate eventually prompted us to move to Malawiin southeastern Africa in 1986, where we spent another nine years. That's where our kids grew up."
Adrian Spencer grew up around London and saved money working night shifts after high school. At 19 he traveled to Mauritius and later spent nine years in South Africa, where he met his wife Beverley and had three children. Political changes prompted a 1986 move to Malawi for another nine years. He built a career in packaging manufacturing and accepted roles across Melbourne, Indonesia, China, the United States, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, and Thailand. He retired after a final five-and-a-half-year position in 2025 and settled in Penang, Malaysia, attracted by its visa program and active social life.
