I love the differences between cultures, and the excitement of travel! Cath and I have bought a little place and we're not travelling now, but we love to hear people's stories and share in people's travel adventures who are travelling. And there's no doubt we'll pick up and set off again before many years have passed... I'm also really keen to connect with the people in my area who have the same love of travel and travellers that I do.

There's so much great music. I was brought up on Celtic folk music, but I also love blues, jazz, classical, psy-trance, most of the folk music in the world, some classic rock like Deep Purple, some cool electro like Aphex Twin, etc. I rarely enjoy a movie... There are some great ones out there, though, but there is so much trash it's hard to find the good ones. When did I last read a book! I have a few good ones on the go, very very slowly - one about mindfulness in life and love, one about a multi-faceted feminist reimagining of the classic Hero's Journey concept, and one about the radical political history of Newcastle, Australia, where my family has been based for a few generations. I also like Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Carl Sagan. I read Isaac Asimov and Tolkien when I was younger, probably wouldn't go back and do it again now.
