ABOUT ME
I lived and worked abroad in both China and Russia for a few years until illness forced me back to the UK. However, the wanderlust won't leave me alone so I'm back on the trail.
I'm a visual artist, musician, and a sound artist and also run a small record label with a friend. It lives here: http://www.mustdierecords.co.uk.
I'm hoping short bursts of travel will also trigger off some good art.
I'm not a Buddhist but I do find certain elements make sense and help me make sense of everyday life in general.
My main joys in life are art, music, travel and meeting friendly and interesting people from other cultures.
PHILOSOPHY
My personal philosophy? I am convinced that we live in a world of wonder that, the older I get, the more incredible it becomes. You have to take note of the small stuff or you'll miss so much. A cliche yes, but true.
Also, a little compassion goes a long way. As does a small altruistic gesture coupled with a smile. I guess my philosophy is "be nice".

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Lehren, lernen, teilen
I'm convinced everybody can create art. You just have to start the ball rolling and once you do it will improve your life and wellbeing no end.
I remember being at Uni and my teacher saying to the class "why would you try and draw like someone else? No one can draw like you!". Everyone has a unique style.
Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann
Good music, bad music, tea, points of view, outdated philosophies, curry, fine beer and conversation.
Länder, die ich besucht habe
Belgium, China, France, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Latvia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, South Korea, Spain, Turkey
