One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been camel trekking in the Thar, witnessed an electrical storm over the North Rim and have meandered the foothills of the Himalayas.

Teach, Learn, Share

Trying to teach myself Spanish, would love to chat over coffee and improve. Loves food but average at cooking. Has a huge music collection but is constantly on the look out for more.

Can offer Photoshop, Sketchup or Dreamweaver tips, and is capable of basic/small-scale graphic design work on the move. Is also a fairly competent blogger and can offer travel writing advice.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, Spain, United Kingdom
