About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To visit Kathmandu

ABOUT ME

Well, I like to travel, but want to travel more and hopefully meet some good people along the way...I'm pretty easy going and love a good old rambling conversation, usually over a nice G&T or ale until the sun comes up! :D

PHILOSOPHY

Wow, um...be an open person and you will learn things that surprise you and meet amazing people that you might have just passed by....

oh....and listen

Music, Movies, and Books

Loads! 'travels with my aunt' Graham Greene a real favourite though, Donna Tartt, Iain Banks, old school horror like John Wyndham and Lovecraft too. I am a graphic novel lover, like a good indie but otherwise anything touched by the god-like genius of Alan Moore, Frank Miller, Los Bros Hernandez or Crumb will do me fine. Currently writing and drawing my own and artist on a collaboration.
I mainly like films that touch me, I like to be an emotional wreck at the end of a film and love music of all types, too many to really narrow it down, they all become like a soundtrack to life....although I like an awful lot of trash too though ha ha ha! :-D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been to an amazing 5 day Polish wedding...much drinking, dancing and eating! I'm still recovering!
The canal at dawn, amazing, camping with real campfires can't be beaten

Teach, Learn, Share

I play guitar and ukulele and am a musician in my spare time running two local acoustic sessions and gigging when I can, which I love, so I'm always up for a jam and some howling!
I can rant away for hours on a number of subjects with boundless enthusiasm but also love to listen to peoples stories and learn from them.
I *love* learning and sharing languages, I can also teach English but I'll teach you loads of bad cockney rhyming slang and all the interesting bits!!! ha ha ha!
