ABOUT ME

All about me?

Hey! Lets get off our computers...

As I am a lover of cinema it's only fitting that my life is like a movie; A big sprawling epic filled with mystery, suspense, action, comedy, romance and of course a killer soundtrack!. Join me for the adventure of a lifetime ...In the scenes so far there's been stuff like white water rafting in the Scottish glens, Karate under the training of a Karate Champion and so much more. As with any good movie the locations are exotic from Oil Rigs in the Deserts of Kazakhstan to driving a pickup truck up the Canadian rocky mountains in raging blizzards and touring round East Europe with my entourage ending up at the Exit festival. Leading ladies, side kicks and supporting cast so far in this action packed epic have been a wonderful, varied and fascinating bunch to say the least.

Interests

I practice and am deeply passionate about freestyle Karate and the philosophy behind the martial arts. Hoping to take up Judo soon as well to learn the grappling side of things.

Have a huge interest in East European culture and history (My number one holiday destination). Poland being my most visited country and Georgia being my most desired placed to visit.

Reading well I am a HUGE Philip K Dick fan the man was a genius. As well as that I like a good graphic novel Walking Dead and Punisher being my favourites.
