You’ve reached this page either by clicked on the wrong link or to pursue your curiosity about the man behind the curtain who runs this blog. To give you a quick knowledge fix here are the top eight facts about me you should know:
- I’m a 31-year old Englishman living in Vancouver, Canada.
- Unsuccessfully studied Astrophysics at the University of Kent.
- Married to my Kent University (college) sweetheart, Saphiya in 2014.
- Proud parent to a chocolate labrador named Nelson and a tabby cat called Mira.
- Coffee aficionado and enthusiastically planning to open my own coffee house in the near future.
- Lover of the the mountains and enjoy all the adventures they offer; hiking, climbing, kayaking, camping, biking, rafting, skiing, you name it and I’m up for it.
- Film enthusiast, mainly watching but sometimes making. I did make this one film with the London Academy of Film, Television and Radio. It’s kinda trippy. Check it out if you want: “Dummy”
- Global wanderer; there are many places I would love to visit and hopefully I will get to. Currently travelled to 18 countries and yet that doesn’t even start to cover the places I want to go.
This is by no means the memoirs of a successful entrepreneur, an accomplished adventurer, or a world travel expert. It’s of someone aspiring to do these things, which is not to say that I haven’t had my fair share of adventures and world travels (18 countries and counting); I just know there is so much more out there and I’m ready and eager to see it.
The world and new adventures seen through my eyes, I hope you find this blog interested and informative.
Other Mountains ….
Aside from the actually geographical mountains I want to conquer there are things I want to accomplish with my life;
I enjoy reading, curling up with a nice cup of tea, on the sofa with my dog Nelson lying next to me. That’s the best way, however, I will also settle for the morning commute cramped in with a bunch of other Vancouverites finding excuses not to talk and to avoid that one crazy on the bus (if you can’t see them, it’s you). To make sure I cover the full spectrum of literary greats I’m going to read the following list:
Currently reading: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Last read: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
