CURRENT MISSION

To stay present, and live!

ABOUT ME

Easy to get along with, open minded, passionate about music, travel and food. Born in Australia but was educated and lived in Singapore for most of my life. Just left Cambodia where I was working as a journalist after stints in Jakarta and Copenhagen. En route to London. Favourite things include the brief crackle before a record begins to play, Asian street food and the sweet hum of a racing bike.
