Music, Movies, and Books

Movies are too many, music too little and books well...I'll read just about any good fantasy books, I'm a big Stephen King fan, love Jasper Fforde and his wacky yarns, getting into Ben Elton (This Other Eden was almost like a prediction), and for Sci-Fi I enjoy Iain M. Banks. Don't read many classics, I know I should, and I have a few favorite authors who I keep returning to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took my wife (then girlfriend) to a dream destination of her's called Sutherland in South Africa. It has one of the two biggest (at the time) telescopes in the world and has the most beautiful starry nights. Quite amazing and unbelievable to witness.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't exchange your money at the airports in Australia, they usually offer the worst rates as you don't have any other options. Get a bit of cash before coming here and then head into the CBD of the city to exchange the rest. A lot of stores will even match or beat competitors rates, so call around for quotes.

What I Can Share with Hosts
