About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn about the world

ABOUT ME

We don't have kids, love to have fun, love to read, love to travel, love discussion, love new stuff. We don't mind roughing it when it comes to travel, but take luxury whenever we can get it!

PHILOSOPHY

The earth is an amazing place and there's so little time to see it all!

Music, Movies, and Books

We enjoy fringe/arthouse movies. As for music, we love rock, classical, folk, lounge, jazz and blues! Books - anything that grabs us along the lines of my interests. At the moment, I'm very keen on distilling and baking with sourdough.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving with sharks. Seeing the sun rise over Burma's Golden Rock. Sleeping in a tent in a snow covered forest. Listening to the sounds of the Perito Moreno glacier.

Teach, Learn, Share

my wife and i are both journalists having worked in hard news and written about travel, wine, food, whisky, decor and a host of other subjects. And we enjoy sharing our interests with our friends.
