I tried to quit my job to travel, but they offered me a year off instead, so I'm traveling for a year with my girlfriend, until August 2018.

ABOUT ME

I am an Englishman who has been mainly living in the US for almost 20 years, with breaks for travel, a year in Australia, and 6 months living in Finland. I currently work for a university in a supercomputer center, as a system administrator on a massive storage archive. I like the outdoors, building things, welding, motorcycles, working on cars, and working with animals. My hobbies include a rock crawling jeep, surfing, bouldering, and general adventure activities.

PHILOSOPHY

Have as many adventures and positive experiences as I can.
