I'm a chef (and occasional writer) with the a serious travel bug.

Interests

Sports (playing and watching). Everything from cricket to climbing, and skiing to boxing.

Food and drink. I’m a chef, so cooking, eating, going out to eat, and talking about it all, is a pretty significant part of my life!

TRAVELLING! Hey, it’s why we’re all on here :)

Reading/Writing/Books. I grew up around books. And always have a minimum of four on the go at any time...

• writing
• books
• politics
• movies
• traveling
• sports
• extreme sports
• science
• adventure travel
• food

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to name individually, but...

Music
Golden era and underground Hip Hop. Rock. Metal. Blues. Jazz. Funk. Soul. Country. Reggae. Dance Hall. Drum n Bass. Techno. Jungle.

Movies
Anything that makes me laugh, cry, or think.

Books
Similarly to movies, anything that affects me. Plus I love working my way through the classics. I've always book swapped on the road, and I have a pretty big book collection of my own so I'm open to book swaps with surfers...

Teach, Learn, Share
