CURRENT MISSION

To discover and explore life, the universe and everything.

ABOUT ME

I studied Spanish in Manchester, England. I used to own a VW campervan, which took me on some great trips, and a mountain bike, which usually accompanied me in the van. Spent a year in Spain, a year in the Netherlands, and a year in Chile, and loved them all. I now live in Gloucester, UK.

PHILOSOPHY

I am an optimist (I guess most people on here are), I believe that the best way to improve yourself and the world is by communication, and travel is one of the best ways to meet and get to know people.

Interests

I am mainly a mountain biker, occasionally hike, haven't sailed in a while but used to regularly.. that sort of thing. Over the summer travelling or hanging around on sunny days in a hammock with some happy music and some good friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like lots of different types of music: AC/DC to The Zutons, Buddy Holly to the Holloways, Jamiroqai to Jeff Beck. I started as a classic rock fan, then added 60s stuff, then came forward in time. Spanish music rocks too, I'm a big fan of Jarabe de Palo. Bookwise a couple of my favourites are Jurassic Park, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenence, and for something a bit more thought provoking, the Mr. Men books are good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a job taxi driving people to the beach and around the place in a VW van spray painted to look like a New York cab. It was great!
I have also been lucky enough to go to some amazing places with my parents, from the Great Barrier Reef to the Grand Canyon.
