About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find a grown up reason for getting back onto the open road...

ABOUT ME

I love people and I normally tell them after a few drinks.

I tend not to spend days on end looking at cathedrals, monuments and museums. I value more talking to the locals and checking out their way of life. A chat with an old bloke on a rock for 3 hours can actually be quite entertaining!

Also, I like to take pics of people...not places. The postcard photographers do a much better job of rolling hills than I could ever do!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not good with this...sorry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a few film maker friends and cameras to Mongolia to film the Naadam Festival. We partied hard with the locals and drank too much vodka! I haven't touched the 'evil' drink since.
