About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life!

ABOUT ME

I am a fun-loving, easy-going traveller out to experience the world. Serendipity has been generous to me, and I am living a lush life full of adventure, exploration and the discovery and re-discovery of beauty. I love music: listening to it and creating it. I like writing, making/building things, innovation, creativity and practical solutions.

PHILOSOPHY

Climb to views wherever possible and don't forget to look up. Life without music would be truly tragic. There is never a bad time for icecream. If in doubt, go upside down and inside out. Life is learning. There is no box. Take courage!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am not often near a TV these days, but I find unless it matches my mood, the box can be quite tedious. I love reading and am growing a library. Music... my taste is too varied to pin down and thus think shuffle is quite groovy, and I am always on the lookout for new tunes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Training huskies in Lapland and seeing the Northern Lights while swimming naked in an icehole on a frozen lake.
Crewing on a yacht in the Mediterranean (Italian islands, Corsica, Greece, Turkey) and walking on a perpetually active volcano.

Teach, Learn, Share

Only boring people stay bored.
Life is just long enough.
Walking and breathing are underrated.
