CURRENT MISSION

Travelling North America in a classic car

ABOUT ME

I'm a former desk jockey who got frustrated with sitting in the same place every day and quit the job to see some of the world. I am travelling around North America in a classic American car, hoping to visit all 48 of the contiguous United States and to traverse Canada from Quebec to Vancouver.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Sci-fi, Crime, Action. Die Hard (the first one) is one of the best action movies ever made.
Music: Lots of different kinds, but especially blues/rock and 80s. I am a particular fan of Springsteen, Knopfler, Dylan, Paul Simon but also I like the less poetic but heavier stuff like AC/DC, Journey, Bon Jovi. Creedence Clearwater Revival. I do like a bit of French electronica as well. I love music, will happily talk about it all day.
Books: Sci-fi, spy novels, books about engines or cars.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving the Nurburgring in the snow was pretty awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some guitar chords, how to rebuild an engine, fix your computer, teach you about Formula 1 motor racing in great detail. It's been a while since I used it but I could pass on some of the knowledge from my Maths degree.
