About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the World. All of it!

ABOUT ME

I think travel is the greatest! I'm always happy to find an excuse to jump on a plane an explore a new corner of the world.

I'm living in Melbourne at the moment - a city of great coffee, arts and long weekend brunch. A very cool city to call home. I'm an engineer in my day job.

In breaking news, I recently finished my Open Water Scuba Course - so will have to plan a diving holiday sometime soon...

Music, Movies, and Books

Short films are fun and I'll regularly be at outdoor or short film fests. Enjoy funny and upbeat movies and am always keen to see world and arthouse movies. I love the mockumentary genre and am glad that docos are starting to get a run in cinemas. I thought 'Juno' was a great movie.

I like books.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll be happy to share everything I know about Australia (and whatever I don't know I'll make up an answer) :)

Pick the topic: cricket, local food/wines/beer, politics, kangaroos, vegemite, history, or anything else that takes your fancy.

You can be assured that I'll ask a lot of questions about your country, language and culture.
