CURRENT MISSION

Meet the world, figure out life

ABOUT ME

I am a traveller, music-lover, peaceful soul, scientist. I love books, the sea, food, culture, dingy holes-in-the-walls, and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect and fairness are things I give a lot of thought to.

Teach, Learn, Share

I cook passably, some basic Asian things amongst others. I can tell you about the place I grew up, places I've been, and a bit about South East Asia. I also can talk a lot about classical music, and guitar in particular. I'm a marine biologist by profession, I could tell you about that.
