CURRENT MISSION

To Shrink the World

ABOUT ME

Currently living in London working as a developer, always looking for the next trip!

Add me on Facebook to get to know me better. I spend more time on FB
than on CS.

I also write a travel blog about my recent Africa and India trip on http://www.investmentbackpacker.wordpress.com.

If you're looking to practice your English, I am more than happy to help. Just shoot me a message and we can meet up for an hour or so and I'll help you any way I can.

I'm currently learning Spanish (Estoy aprendiendo Espanol!) and would love to have a language exchange with any Spanish speaking person looking to learn English

PHILOSOPHY

Music, Movies, and Books

Like any travel enthusiast, I LOVE Into the Wild. The Beach is also a great movie I think, and I usually watch them both before setting out on trips.

Music, I have a diverse taste but mainly like rock, and 90s grunge (pearl jam, mother love bone, soundgarden etc).

Books, mainly I'm a non-fiction reader, and have a lot of interesting stuff on my kindle from neuroscience, economics, cosmology and travel books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Accomplish my 'life' goal (which I set at aged 12) at 16 which was to skydive. Also jumping of the tallest building in the southern hemisphere. The best thing I have experienced is getting within inches of a Great White Shark in South Africa; that's a story to tell.

Travelled Africa from Cape Town to Cairo overland across 12 countries in 8 months.
