I’ve been travelling around the world by different means since 2012.
I travel, return to England (or Brazil) and travel again, exploring the planet in as many different ways, always in search of the next varied and unique experience. These journeys have taken me through a range in lifestyles from heavily relying on outdoor equipment to minimalist adventures without luggage, travelling in many countries in Asia, Europe and the Americas with nothing but a bum bag. I have also lived remotely in a tent, walking and hitchhiking across Norway and much of Northern Europe.

Music, Movies, and Books

I spent 14 years writing, recording and performing (guitar) in two bands, focusing a youthful decade (00-09) making pop music with Pictures of Shanghai. More recently I formed folk/alt.rock band Lectures (09-14).
