CURRENT MISSION

To broaden my mind and see more of the world.

ABOUT ME

Well, what can I say... working to live, living for weekends. I work in education as an IT Manager and do translation/interpreting on the side. Like acoustic music and soft rock, enjoy going out or staying in. A drink's good, but I can get along without one (I'm usually Mr Wheels). I'm generally a contented kind of guy but can be spontaneous when I want to be as well.

I play a few instruments (mainly piano) and sing acoustically. I can pontificate and philosophise till the early hours of the morning, and I like to meet a wide range of people with differing experiences of the world. I have spent a LOT of time in Holland.

I live in Crewe in the North-West of England. There's not much to do here, but as a railway hub it's a gateway to some of England's big, historic cities like Chester, Manchester and Liverpool (all less than an hour away on the train or by car).

PHILOSOPHY

"A true friend is someone who can disagree with you on everything and still appreciate you for who you are."
