About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn how to surf.

ABOUT ME

I love people, food and drink. Did I mention drink already :)
Work is a means to an end, although I am fortunate that I actually enjoy what I do.
I spent a year travelling a few years back, and have been infected by the bug ever since.
Just moved to Portugal through work and love it.
I love to dive when I can, and hope to try to get some diving in Portugal if the water warms up a bit.

PHILOSOPHY

In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.
