Music, Movies, and Books
I took philosophy in uni so anything philosophical or thought provoking reading piques my interest. I enjoy westerns and older movies. Music wise I love jazz, blues, motown and oldies.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Getting altitude sickness alone in the Himalayas at 5000m.
Teach, Learn, Share
I could show anyone a few chords on the piano or a couple riffs on the guitar. I also have some limited cooking skills I can show off.
