BioI'm a guy that likes to try anything once....not to fussy really.
I've got plenty of interestsfrom wanting to be an Architect, but falling off a silly cloud and into the Military life in the Airforce as an Avionics tradesman. I parachuted out of that hanger then fell back to study, digressing I wandered into the Australian outback as a Mining Geologist trying to find gold. I played around at Regional Exploration until falling into a dusty pit or three, of bogans and drop kicks in a similar quest for solitude. On awakening one day I realised I needed to vanquish myself from this rabble and decided to see some of the world.
From there I climbed out of that dust bowl and traveled with good friend Paul, from Nepal to London overland via the middle East, to the vagrant wanderings of the foothills through Britan, circum-navigating Europe in our wake.
Falling from travel to no work on my return to Australia, I realised that study was my answer to further afields.
With this I retrained into the bandwagon trade of IT and have been mucking round in New Zealand for 4 years employed in the subject while pursuing an Art career on the side.
Finally I got my second wind for travel and for greener pastures and have now landed here in London. My third return but one of rest for a while. It is here where I will find finer pleasure and excitement than my smothering origins can ever bring.
