About Me

*Next trip: Texas, 7-18 November 2019*

I've spent a lot of time travelling. Almost too much in fact. Now living and working in London, but have lived all over England, the south of France and south east Asia.

Generally laid back, interested in life and new experiences, with plenty of old experiences to make sure the conversation keeps going. (Among those experiences are silent retreats, so the conversation can stop without any problem either).

Last big trips were for the solar eclipse in the USA in 2017 and then spent most of 2018 living and working in Egypt.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have sat on a hill on the line of totality and seen the shadow disc of the moon rush along the English Channel plunging us into darkness as if it was the end of the world.

I liked it so much I did it again in 2017 in a field in Tennessee.
