About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mission? What mission??? We're on a boat? What boat? I don't want to be on a boat!

ABOUT ME

I do not get to travel as much as I like, but I've been around, Brazil, China, all over Europe and some parts of the USA.

I work in phonology which is the way that a linguistic system externalises language, usually via the medium of sound.

I am what in some countries is called 'alternative' by which all I mean is that I'm curious of absolutely all cultures, peoples, traditions, foods and places.

PHILOSOPHY

To feel you have no permanent roots to any particular place is probably the closest as you can get to sanity.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
