About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, photograph, giggle and be seen

ABOUT ME

I am an a gentleman traveller, rock star who enjoys travelling from land to land getting into adventures, righting wrongs and fighting crime.

PHILOSOPHY

Have a powerfully good giggle. Shut up, listen and read a book. If you must say something negative, it better be bloody funny.

Music, Movies, and Books

Just about all of it except the crap stuff, which obviously is anything that I don't like

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen a lake of fire in Ethiopia, whale sharks in Thailand,hill tribe people in Shan State Burma that were sufficiently remote that they didn't even try to sell me anything. Indian rhino's fighting during mating season (that was awesome to behold, because thankfully there was a river separating us the the Rhino lads). I have also been witness to, or affected by revolutions in Burma, Ecuador and Egypt. If you like to see more tanks and men in uniform on every street corner and more helicopters in the sky, then revolutions are for you, but unfortunately not for me!

Teach, Learn, Share

This sounds like a sterling idea, very day is afterall a school day.
