About Me

27, I'm fascinated by history, nature,culture, coffee, beer, markets, music (new and old and everything in between), cards, street life, city life, country life and, without a doubt, people.

A few things; I lived in the Netherlands for a year, in Turkey and in Malaysia, paint , play piano, cook (if you don't mind the rare failure), play sports- rock climbing, kayaking and sailing to name a few-, worked as a rock-climbing instructor and geologist, and hitchhiked from Europe to Nepal.

The best way to get to know me is to meet me though...obviously.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

marooned on a desert island in the Persian Gulf.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love conversation- genuine conversation, where the aim isn't simply time filling, but making a connection through shared experience.

Oh, And I know a heap of fun stories and am always happy to help.
