ABOUT ME

I'm a digger, a finder. I enjoy unexpected places, unexpected people, and the time to take it all in.
But give me a road and two wheels, and I'll drive until there is no-one, nothing else in sight and then keep going till I see a nice spot to sleep the night.

When I'm not goofing off or working, I draw, take pictures, make music, write.

PHILOSOPHY

Getting lost will help you find yourself. but finding more than yourself is perhaps the real goal. Plan to live to a reasonable age; enjoy and be present through each season. Hapiness is a choice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing my favourite rock band live, golden circle. Motorcycling through the heart of a lightning storm down a mountain pass, low on petrol, and then camping in the Swazi wilderness with lightning all around but a clear sky up ahead. Gloriously coming off a motorbike after a failed jump attempt. Meeting Colin, a mentally insane vagrant of a Cape town suburb, who always wraps a towel over his head and under his chin.

Teach, Learn, Share

Music, songwriting, cinematography, 3D animation or vfx- I love to discuss it all! would love to learn any musical instrument.. or any tricks you have, and will be sure to share mine! I want to learn about how peoples lives are in the countries I visit. I want to hear about unique non-touristy things to see or try in the places I stay.
