CURRENT MISSION Discover South America ! ABOUT ME I am a proud Geordie (one who hails from Newcastle in the UK) although I have lived in Sydney, Australia for 8 years and look on that as home now. I came there as a backpacker around 2000´, fell in love with the place and have been there since! I love being around people and meeting new people which is why I came travelling, that and wanting to learn Spanish. I studied physics at university and then got into working in IT. Outside of work one of my biggest interests is electronic dance music especially progessive house, which i "discovered" in Sydney in 2001. After that I took up DJing myself and started a club night called HABIT to push the sounds I love. You can read more on HABIT at www.myspace.com/whatsyourhabit I am into quite a few other things like football (and my team Newcastle United), cricket, diving, squash and swimming. I have a travel blog of my trip so far which is at http://www.getjealous.com/adiospet PHILOSOPHY "Do unto others as you would have done to yourself" inherited from my mother who is one of the coolest people you could ever meet and has been an inspiration for me.
