CURRENT MISSION

I plan to leave the UK in September for a six month sojourn through Central America to South America and Cuba, documenting my travels and the people I meet.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, meet new people, hear new perspectives and learning new tricks everyday. I appreciate all sorts of music, art and film, and am happiest when I'm expanding my wisdom in some way. I grew up in Australia and have lived in London for the past four years. I plan to travel through Central and South America in 2010-2011 documenting my travels on film and still camera's.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs. And maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it. And you'll do it, despite rejection in the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods. And the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is . . ." Bukowski
