About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

2014/2015:

I will be passing through a few cities in Europe this Christmas (2014/2015) before I move to Cape Town in January. So I will be looking for places to rest my weary head after a hard days traveling!

Living in both London and Cairo these days, I work in the development sector, with my work often taking me around Africa and Middle East. I also live a double life as a musician. For any musicians out there I am usually with my mandolin or violin so it would be cool to jam! I consider myself a sort of world musician and like to play many different styles, from blues, bluegrass and rock to folk, jazz and flamenco.

I'm a very easy going person who doesn't need much to enjoy himself in life. I like to be out and about a lot - as much as the next person - but at the same time I also equally enjoy a day or night inside with some good food, good company, or a good film.

Cheers. :)

Interests

Music, art, novels, history, writing, photography... far too many hobbies and never enough time. One of my major passions in life is music, not just listening but also creating - I play several instruments. If you're interested, here is a song I wrote a while ago on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtA5K1-eiJA.

I also really love to read. Mostly fantasy and historical fiction.

When I visit places I can often be found taking long walks exploring with the company of my camera. :)
