About Me

I'm an inquisitive type. I love music - listening and playing. I love discussion (you know - person A speaks, then person B has a go, repeat). I enjoy exploring new ideas. Find me a cabin by a stream and I may never leave.

PHILOSOPHY

don't kick dogs, be nice to crying people, find out how the world impacts on you so you know which decisions are yours and which ones belongs to society

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ooh, I've been very lucky. Some things: lived in a treehouse, tasted gnocchi like clouds, had my life changed by someone, started a cafe, learnt the difference between personality and politics, fun jobs, living in Vietnam, natural beauty from Laos to Tasmania.

Teach, Learn, Share

to teach - practical epistemology
to learn - blues harmonica
to share - the underground Hanoi
