Hello, I just got back to the UK after 3 years in China, and I'll soon be wandering east once again. I've come to see that most of my books can't go with me, so I want to set them free.

My favourite season is autumn; my favourite times of day early morning and late evening.

I like the smell of fresh coriander and good coffee, long walks to unplanned destinations and surrounding myself with music.

I spend time watching the sea, the night sky and passers by.

I enjoy discussions but hate arguments. I love to party and I have an insatiable need to travel!

I love my job, journeys, books, words, creativity and the freedom to be odd... and, umm, quality films, making music when no one's listening, listening to other people's live music making and general bimbling.

Part hedonist, part ponderer, part realist, part wanderer... a cynical dreamer, idealistic sceptic and unreasonably happy part-time loner. Life feels good, it fits well, I do not want to take it back for exchange nor refund.
