I'm living on my sailboat, slowly going west around the world. Have hosted and been a guest a fair few times - about 50/50 - from Scotland to Colombia to Polynesia. I like dancing, playing all kinds of music, Jiu Jitsu/Muay Thai, sailing, and philosophy. CURRENT MISSION Enjoy the rest of the day. PHILOSOPHY Marx, the Stoics, some Existentialism.
