About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to spend the rest of my life everywhere, with everyone, one to one, always, forever, now.

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone. All about me... well, like most of the people I've met on here, I guess I'm an easygoing and inquisitive type of person with a positive outlook and friendly manner. I like the arts, music, architecture, urbanism, sustainable design, natural building methods, socialising and having fun. I'm always on the lookout for new creative opportunities to apply myself and learn from.

PHILOSOPHY

Sleeping is giving in no matter what the time is.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a musical omnivore but I guess if I could go back to any time in music history I'd probably catch the Talking Heads perform Stop Making Sense.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Freezing my arse off under the northern lights somewhere outside Reykjavik. Working in chaotic Bangalore for a music magazine in 07. Walking across a time zone in the north of Scandinavia. Working on a 'permasculpture' farm in Germany. Restoring an old tile factory into a centre for arts and ecology with an environmental collective in Denmark. 'CyberGardening' in Milan. Countless gigs, festivals, workshops, trips and one-off events. But there is an element of magic in the mundane - I see amazing things every day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to meet anyone who brings out the best in me. I can teach a little about permacultural ideas and techniques, graphics skills, and I'm a native English speaker.
