One Amazing Thing I've Done
I was lucky enough to see the Arirang mass games in the centre of Pyongyang, North Korea. The most surreal show on earth. I've also done the famed Trans-Mongolian train journey from Beijing to Moscow. Sorry, that's two, isn't it?
Teach, Learn, Share
I've been to 43 countries so far, so if you're going somewhere I've already been then I can share with you what I know.
My Interests
TRAVEL, of course, and... guitars, coffee, real ale, languages, culture, philosophy, football, exercise etc.
