ABOUT ME
I am a musician living in London and have experienced some spontaneous travelling in recent years! I think this website is an amazing way to aid an expedition and I have met some great people because of it. I like food a lot and I am always interested in trying new tastes and learning recipes from around the world… and sharing the joy of food with others! I am interested in art (particularly early 20th century and contemporary), I enjoy being outside in parks, forests and historic places. And of course bars, concerts, and parties… and staying at home is sometimes pretty nice too.
PHILOSOPHY
Fear the lollipop of mediocrity; lick it once and you'll suck forever.
I have also more optimistic personal philosophies on life but you have to wait till we meet as I'm not really into writing about that stuff on here...
