Spent 4 years travelling the world getting a taste of different cultures/lifestyles. An eye opening experience....ate monkee meat in Ghana, snake in the Ivory Coast,three course meal for US$1 in Lenningrad, caught Malaria in Guinea Bissau, Dengue in Equador, witnessed the coming down of the Berlin Wall, danced in the streets of Cadiz/Spain with gypsies from evening till dawn, ran screaming from a local village kid in Togo holding a tarantula, marvelled at the sight of a myriad beautiful sunrises, sunsets and stars out on the open sea, spewed countless times on myself, friends and all things surrounding me during rough sea travel, loved and lost, played football in the slums of Sao Paolo/Brazil with homeless street kids, and sat next to a Llama on a longdrop high up in the Andes/Chile-South America...i've met people from all walks of life, shared my food, time, blanket, money, culture, love, tears, laughter, anger, shame..etc with them....what more can i say ...OH WHAT A LIFE, SO WONDROUS, SO MARVELOUS'. .....'CARPE DIEM'.
