About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I come from an industrial slagpit in Australia named Newcastle, before it was converted into the internationally renowned cultural hotspot it is today. The desire to escape instilled me with travel fever, which I never recovered from. I am now doomed to wander the luggage reclaim carousels of the world, a haggard and solitary phantom. Although actually I'm usually travelling with my girlfriend, who is really nice and warm and keeps me honest and I'm sure you will love her.

PHILOSOPHY

"What is the secret of happiness?"
"Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of the women."
- Conan the Barbarian

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once when I was stealing an ancient jewel from a little known jungle tribe, I was chased by some guys with spears onto a cliff, and had to jump onto a passing hot air balloon! That was a close one!

Teach, Learn, Share

The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it, for the first time, with a sense of hope. Because if a machine, a Terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too.
