CURRENT MISSION

I´ll have ten kitkats and a motoring atlas. I'm about to start the Via Francigena to Rome in May. Hoping to do some couch surfing along the way. Later in the year I'm planning to volunteer in a refugee camp - the details of which I'm still working on.

ABOUT ME

I love bumping into randomers and making friends. I like to read a good book, figure things out. Write and photograph. Fillems. Hiking. Tea. I like tools and building stuff. Looking at old buildings. Mmmm, tea. Music, dancing, museums, theatre. I do sing in the shower. Whisky. Wine. Beer. Fooooooood. Being out and about. Did I mention tea? I hate shopping.

PHILOSOPHY

You have to keep busy cos after all no dog´s ever pissed on a moving car.

(Tom Waits)

"An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools."

(Hemingway-For whom the bell tolls)

"No can do" - "What´s that some place near Katmandu? Meet me halfway, mate"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some might call me easily entertained.
Oh, I´ve done other things, too.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn: anything, really. Could you teach me how to fish, please?
