About Me

I like to travel to foreign shores in search of new experiences and misadventure, making new friends on the journey. I like to hear new sounds.

I play rock n roll - I'm part of the CUBAN CRIMEWAVE and one of the INVADERS. I've been a Grip and one of Gods Chosen Dealers in my time too!!
I sing and howl rather well. I can't hold my drink. I can do handstands.
I love getting into mischief....and a little bit of trouble.... I travel a lot and own lots of records. I used to like staying in hotels (but I don't anymore - cos I can never sleep in them!). I like having fun.
If you like the same then get in touch. If you live on foreign shores where I may be visiting then get in touch and lets meet up and you can point me to the hotspots.
I spend many an hour wandering streets for inspirational activities! I'm studying things that may be useful to me in the future(human relations and group dynamics) and enjoying every second of learning.
I'm also obssessed with the films Performance and the Holy Mountain. I like exercise.
