Generally curious, especially when it comes to the natural world, which I find endlessly interesting. My motto could be 'where you are not sure of something, do the experiment', though this has to be applied with care when electricity is involved (found out the hard way).

I find that visiting and exploring new places brings a huge high, but it is often the chance encounters on the way which makes the journey really worthwhile; even brief interactions/small acts of thoughtfulness can make a huge difference.

HOSTING: Work is sometimes too busy to let me host but feel free to ask - apologies in advance if it's not possible (but if I'm free I'll try to let you know within a day).

Interests

- biology and the natural world; I keep bees, look after some sheep, grow as many plants from seed as space permits etc.
- photography - www.charlesbrabin.com
- exploring new places - there is so much 'world' to see, so many people to meet
- wanders which combine some of the above, or all if possible

• photography
• traveling
• socializing
• biology

Music, Movies, and Books

Music can be discussed once I know I won't be judged! 'On the Road' would be near the top for books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking a swarm of bees on a bus without anyone noticing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- hopefully interesting experiences - different routes through life always bring their own stories.
- beekeeping skills? (bees permitting - the willingness is there!)
- perhaps some adventures if there's time!
