About me

Ever since I was growing up in a little seaside town in England, I have wanted to see the world. When the opportunity to take off came along I grabbed it with both hands and took off for New Zealand and Australia. The travel bug really got to me, because after finishing my university degree and working for a few years, I decided to apply for a job in Mexico and take off again. After spending four years working and traveling around in Central America, I have just returned to European soil: Amsterdam to be exact. Here I am undergoing a self designed integration crash course. At present my biggest challenge is trying to master the language, which involves a lot of spitting, gurgling and making disgusting sounds. Besides this I have started work in a bicycle shop. You can’t get any more integrated into Dutch society than that…..

My best travel experience
Approaching Tanger by ferry as the sun set behind the town sihouetting the minarets. It was a very beautiful site and an exciting entrance into Africa.

My worst ever travel experience
Trying desperately to find a pharmacist or doctor with proper drugs in a hippie infested village in Guatemala while my travel companion was suffering from severe Giardia poisoning at the hotel surrounded by well meaning but ineffectual hippies "healing" her with crystals and meditation. Luckily I found the doctor after 4 hours of frantic searching and made it back to her before she slipped into unconsiousness. Damn hippies!
