ABOUT ME

I have currently finished a degree in History. I don't really think I can write a concise summary of myself in this box, so to find out more you'll have to say hello :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Still in progress

Music, Movies, and Books

I've always liked very dark, cynical films. Examples of this would include films by Gaspar Noe, Todd Solondz, David Cronenberg and early Neil LaBute. I mainly read non-fiction books on history or politics, but have recently gotten into JG Ballard, Catherine O'Flynn and Philip.K. Dick. As for music, I like especially Masonna and the Berzerker. I used to make music tracks that were quite similar to Maso Yamazaki's work.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have travelled on every single railway line in the U.K., Ireland, the Benelux countries, Denmark, Norway, The Basque Country, approximately half of France and Sweden, and 20-30% of Germany. I have also travelled on the entire metro systems of 99 different cities, and have travelled all the way from The Algarve to Saigon by train (not all at once though). It is a hobby bordering on addiction.
