About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Witty, charming and willing to give anything a go - except possibly eating insects

PHILOSOPHY

The whole point is to have an adventure. The way to have an adventure is to do things at a lower level - it's not to take the freeway and stop at the holiday inn.
(Thanks R Feynman)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Birth of my children. Recently the view from the train at the surreal built up landscape coming into Shanghai. Watching open mouthed as a group of six year old school children wandered straight into a streaming rush of Saigon scooter traffic as they weaved and twisted around them as if they were in no danger at all. Driving around in this scooter traffic myself I'm more or less constantly awestruck !
