About Me

CURRENT MISSION Living in Melbourne, embarking on a trip to Europe and Cambodia for two months in Nov and Dec.
I’m flying to Lisbon to surprise my mum for her 60th, seeing a band in Amsterdam, seeing a good friend get married, going to a house party in Paris, travelling around Cambodia for 4 weeks and then arriving back to Melbourne and playing a gig a few hours later!
I’ve had a great time over the years travelling to various Countries and Cities. I was in Italy for two weeks last year seeing a festival on the beach for psychedelic/garage rock fans and walking over the Cinque Terre in a pair of white Italian loafers whilst passing seasoned walkers with poles and studded boots.
I’ve been living in Melbourne, Australia now for 5 years and see it as my home although I grew up in a small town in Warwickshire/Cotswolds area of England.
Travelling has always been in my life from a very young age with my Dad taking us places and seeing amazing sights.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitched around Australia when I was 18, Europe at 21. Worked in the West Indies building some amazing pieces of construction and Island hopping with the locals playing football. Travelled around Nz for a year couch surfing and hitch hiking by way through. When i was 19 i caught a Shark by accident in Ningaloo Reef, but i set it free. I have travelled through Thailand; almost drowned twice in two separate incidents . I had a wonderful time travelling in India and had a bad experience on a bike there but managed to ride away from it with only a broken accelerator and bleeding side. Went across Vietnam, nothing exciting happened there though. Spent 1 year in New Zealand and experienced all the best times in couch surfing there, some funny and weird stores to tell from that time!
