About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world

ABOUT ME

I love travelling probably as much as anyone here. Going off the beaten track and experiencing the real things the country has to offer. Be it a 6 hour drive on Sri Lankan bus or 16 hours on a train in Thailand I love it more than the comfort of a hotel room. Love being on the road and meeting new people. It's the little things in life that make me happy.
I am a filmmaker by trade and work between London and Barcelona. I write, direct, edit and film. I also love photography.

PHILOSOPHY

Live today like there's no tomorrow. Have fun and experience as much as we can. It's the only thing that can't be taken away. Love life, love travelling, love people!

Musically Blues, Jazz and good Hip Hop.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My video and photography skills, my love for great coffee, artisanal beers and authentic food. I always try to walk off the beaten track so I tend to find unique places in cities that not many other people might know of...happy to share them though.
