CURRENT MISSION

To meet new and interesting people & have fun.

ABOUT ME

I've just taken a four month sabbatical in Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil. I had a lot of fun and met some great people en route.

Now I'm back in London and would like to help other travelers to see the best bits of my home city.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short.

Interests

I am absolutely passionate about travel and can spend hours looking at maps, reading travel biogs and blogs, planning future trips.

I love Art (studied Art/Photography and later Silver-smithing), food and drink, music, World Cinema, Oceanography, meeting new people and talking...a lot.

I would like to learn more Spanish, scuba diving, to play the guitar, become a better cook, chill out more.
