Über mich
I have a goal of visiting 75% of all the worlds countries. Currently about 25% (50 or so countries). At the same time, it's not just about the number but the experience. I am quite happy re-visiting certain countries and places if it blew me away.
We probably can get on fine if you enjoy drinking, eating, history, swapping travel stories and live music/festivals.
I also have a youtube channel about travel https://www.youtube.com/c/thiswayupworld

Every once in a while, you meet someone who gives you a different perspective :)

Musik, Filme und Bücher
I have a bit of an eclectic taste in music. I have way too many to list but I go to a fair amount of music festivals and like to make the most of the tunes around London.
Spotify: https://play.spotify.com/user/thiswayup
Lastfm: http://www.last.fm/user/thiswayupUK
I have pretty bad taste in movies! I'm a typical action film hollywood type f person but also I like Requiem For a Dream, How to train your dragon, The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Baron Münchhausen, Taken and most Jason Statham
When it comes to books I like autobiographies and more non-fiction these days.
Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe
Travelling by train from London to Beijing.
I visited lots of cities along the way through Europe, Russia, Mongolia and China.
I love train travel!
Lehren, lernen, teilen
I learnt that life can amazing if you believe in making it so. Be positive, open and accepting of others
Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann
My taste in music and funny stories plus I've been told I'm pretty good company.
My sense of hour humour can be typically British dry but I am definitely not a quiet one!
A good old drinking session and maybe sharing my bad irish accent...eeek!
