Hi im Grant i´m 35 and i´ve travelled quite a bit during the past 4 or 5 years, spending a few years in Australia, and travelling for a few months over the last two years travelling in Europe. Before this I had travelled to and lived in a number of places, including Canada the US, Singapore and Malaysia, Dubai-I also spent an intense 4 months living in Beijing in 2010.

In between these times I lived mostly lived in London and I was fortunate enough to work at the Olympics, when the city hosted them in 2012, it was a great experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book, to be honest out of the less than a dozen books I have read, The Thirty-nine steps would have to be it.

When I lived in Gippsland in rural Victoria, Australia I developed a liking for Cream the rockband from the 1960s, their music was the soundtrack to many a barberque when I lived in the country.

Since I have been travelling in Spain I have developed a weakness for reggaeton.

Movies: I love Hitckock, Planes Trains and Automobiles and Dumb and Dumber are two comdies that stick out for me.
