About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To visit strange new cultures, drink their beer, and eat their sushi

ABOUT ME

If you can name a place that is not a tourist trap with great people and a bit of culture, which is off the beaten path then I want to go there. I love travelling, but I really miss cooking, I like to think I am a good chef, and if I am lucky enough to find anyone to host me you can expect me to show my appreciation by cooking a great meal.

PHILOSOPHY

No regrets!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched a man snort what I think was Jägermeister up his nose off the floor of a Budapest hostel all because he was getting married soon. This was just the beginning of the night for him.

Teach, Learn, Share

We learned this the hard way, dont go to Gibraltar, a couple of my friends were beaten up and had their cash taken, one was badly beaten up and couldnt really do much for about a week. I think they put something in my drink there, the weather was poor, and the beaches are over-rated.

Afghanistan, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Chile, Croatia, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, Guam, Haiti, Hungary, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, Slovenia, Timor-Leste (East Timor), United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States
