about me

I have two modes: Awesome, Sleeping

Why hello there. Please, do make yourself comfortable, hey I like you already. Would you like a glass of red? It's a nice one

I'm an outgoing type, meeting up with friends on the weekends for catch up drinks and trade jokes and have rolling conversations about anything and everything there is

I have lived in London for 5 solid years and have traveled to most European countries, picking up some excellent life lessons along the way and a taste for adventure.. and wine and blue cheese

Travelling has been a big part of my life, and I would like to go on some more adventures in the near future. I speak fluent French, some Hungarian and Spanish

So also I'm very much interested in Bikes (bicycles) and ride everywhere that I can. I own a great car but Cycling is a hundred times more fun than sitting in traffic shaking my fist at the world. I play a competitive sport called Bike Polo which is exactly what you imagine - insane, fun, some crashes and lots of heckling from the crowd. I've competed nationally for Melbourne and internationally for Australia and it's been a lot of fun. On the weekends i'll be out volunteering at a community Bike repair center helping people repair their bikes

Photography has been a big part of my travelling life, and I've collected some cool film cameras, LOMO LC-A purchased in St.Petersburg, and a Contax II Rangefinder which has an awesome story. I also shoot digital on my Canon 40D and 1DmkII. Most of my photos are up on my Flickr page

Cooking is another one of my hobbies although I much prefer eating out somewhere nice, if the food is great then I don't mind what the bill says.

And finally, i have unlocked the mystery of creating beer. Am I am an alchemist? No! I make my own craft brews in my mini brewery
