Interests

Above all I love meeting people, getting to know them, sharing experiences, and meeting people from all across the spectrum and world.

Dancing - in my room, in bars, with friends, on my own.

Singing - to myself only! Especially Spanish and French songs.

Exploring - wherever I am.

Seeing - everything around me.

Writing - when I have moments of inspiration I like to record them.

Reading - anything that isn't novella-like!

Watching - having worked in a film store growing up, I love watching (non-horror) films! Even more so, I love to watch informative documentaries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If you open your eyes you can see something amazing everyday.

I visited Ukraine and it was amazing, but that was years ago. More recently I fell in love with South Africa - for its rich heart, wonderland landscapes and natural beauty, but also in recognition of how complex it is as a rainbow nation.

I also have to mention Japan: I went to a temple where I was suspended in darkness in an underground cave-tunnel. I had to hold on to a rail and follow it for what seemed like an age - I started to lose all sense of time and orientation. Suddenly a large rock with an engraving appeared, and if you spun it, you could see where your fortune lay. That was pretty amazing.
