About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To rock climb through Spain, Portugal and Morocco with my lovely girlfriend Helena

ABOUT ME

Music is my favourite thing in the world, all sorts really, playing it, hearing it even analysing it! (...actually I'll have to learn to love the last bit in the very near future). I play guitar, a bit of piano, violin and sing and love a good jam! Climbing comes a very close second, love it! and I want to get outdoors a lot more (trekking too)...so let me know if you're keen! I do like a good adrenaline rush...sky diving was brilliant! I like to experience as much as possible and not to be closed minded...yes is a good word! Love to meet new and interesting people.

PHILOSOPHY

Its a bit of a cliché to try and write it down - I like to think and debate and certainly don't block out the challenging questions but to say I've answered them would be a foolish LIE!

Love film, recently watched The Motorcycle diaries which, whilst giving a bit of a romanticised picture of Che, really got me in the travelling mood.
Human Traffic
Fight Club
Apocalypse Now
The Godfathers
Tarentino movies
Guy Richie films

Bit of a mixed bag!

I should read so much more! but of the few books I have read highlights include:
The Jungle - Upton Sinclair
Terry Pratchett books
A Handful of Dust - Evelyn Waugh
and unashamedly the Harry Potter series!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Secret Garden Party 2011...or Skydiving over Prague...that was the definition of amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn some more languages, cooking, dancing, foreign instruments and music, sports, anything!

could teach guitar, the rules of rugby and cricket! sport climbing, some English cuisine(don't expect much!) and how to say 'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch'.
