CURRENT MISSION

Writing, cooking and eating my way round the world, currently in San Sebastian, Spain.

ABOUT ME

I'm friendly and out-going, and love travelling. A great evening for me is a home-cooked meal or good restaurant with my friends and good conversation. I enjoy meeting people from different cultures and making the most of the day - not really a slouch in front of TV type.
Am a bit of a social entrepreneur and make my own artisan chocolate and help organise a bi-annual event about media and social impact.

PHILOSOPHY

Be adventurous and open-minded.. Try to do your best in any circumstance. Learn from other people and see their point of view. Have fun, enjoy life and accept and appreciate its mystery!
