I am a former journalist who loves meeting and socialising with new people.

I live in the cool neighbourhood of Observatory, Cape Town, and always free to have a coffee (or beer) at one of my favourite bookstores (or bars).

PHILOSOPHY

I believe six different things before breakfast every day, yes I do...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A week spent in the madness of Las Vegas and its neon strip joints, then driving through the desert down Route 66 to San Diego, and a beachside cabin at La Jolla.

Two week spent in the rainforests of Gabon, West Africa, where I had the most intense spiritual experience. Yes, really :-)
