Overview
About Me
big outdoors guy stuck in the city to work. Want to travel around the small towns and villages of the world, the meet as many different people as possible.
I want to write a travel book about some of the most fascinating people and places I find along the way.
Very keen for new experiences, very friendly. I like experiencing how local people live their lives, how they feel about the world, how it is different from mine.

Music, Movies, and Books
Non-fiction - History was my degree, and I continue to read. I also read the Economist every week, so I've learned some stuff in there!
Fiction-wise, I Like dystopian films and books. 1984, Clockwork Orange, Bladerunner, If, Iain M Banks Science fiction, Ex Machina, Issac Asimov etc etc
Music - Blues music is probably my favourite. Lots of world music, particularly Irish folk, Cuban, African, Middle-eastern, Spanish guitar. Tropical House will do for modern stuff, as well UK Indie
