Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Finding my place in the world and meeting lots of amazing people. Oh, and learning languages.
ABOUT ME
I'm a 28 year old UK-born, Sweden-raised engineer who just moved to Baden, Switzerland. I'm currently working in the energy sector and also have a small business as a photographer. You can check out some of my work at:
I practice bouldering and martial arts and really enjoy doing photography. I'm also very interested in politics, especially energy policy, environmental issues and political economics. For some reason, I really like the colour purple.
PHILOSOPHY
People should be allowed to do what they want and pursue their own happiness as long as they don't infringe on the same right of others.
"I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."
- Robert Heinlein

Music, Movies, and Books
I love science fiction. Some of my favorite books are On the Road by Jack Kerouac, Neuromancer by William Gibson and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I'm also a fan of Terry Pratchett.
My favorite movie is Heat and I like all kinds of music, but have a soft spot for hard rock and metal - specifically bands like Opeth, Insomnium, Alcest and Agalloch. I'm also a fan of post-rock music, bands like God is an Astronaut and Explosions in the Sky.
