About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Backpacking and surfing in South East Asia

ABOUT ME

Lots of fun to hang out with, in fact, I have been rehearsing several jokes that I may be able to tell you. Very chilled out or very enthusiastic depending on the situation. I love hearing peoples stories and sharing ideas about pretty much anything.
I probably don't party as much as I used to but I'm prepared to make exceptions on a regular basis.
I just try to find enjoyment in the simple things.
A ball of string or a cardboard box with some holes in it can entertain me for hours.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm vaguely interested in yoga and meditation. But only if it can be done on a couch.

Music, Movies, and Books

Recently I have been listening to a lot of world music. But every genre has a few great tracks worth air-guitaring. Books, mostly classics that I can download for free. Movies, comedy and festival.
