CURRENT MISSION

Write, road trip across the US, travel, write, write, make film, write...

ABOUT ME

I seam to always end up moving around more than staying still, travelling whenever I can, mostly in Europe & SE Asia. I'm addicted to meeting completely different people, but value my real, deep friends, and stay in touch even when they are miles away. I lived in Prague for 3 years, escaping from London to get more time and inspiration for my writing and film-making. I'm now sharing my time between London and Berlin and wherever else my thoughts and travels take me...

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life more, work less (or work doing what you love)...why sell the hours of your life to someone else?

Algo increíble que he hecho

Scuba diving at night with a dozen manta rays in the Pacific, a huge 6m beauty soaring up and over my head, inches away. Watching the sunrise from the top of Mt Kinabalu, Borneo, exhausted and shivering and smiling. Colliding with a school of 150+ hammerhead sharks coming out of the deep blue off Sipidan Island, Borneo. Surviving a very very big wave.
