About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To reach base camp on the Mardi Himal...

ABOUT ME

Wizened traveller and budding explorer.

I studied chemistry with Spanish and learning languages is my favourite thing to do. I love meeting new people and meeting up with friends I have made around the world.

I'm a nature kind of guy and I live for the outdoors and camping, climbing and hiking. For me there is nothing better than sleeping under the stars around an open fire.

I love music of all kinds- especially the kinds with soul, meaning or a large, rolling bassline- and I always want to hear more traditional music from different cultures.

Everything is part of one whole.
