About Me

On the 11th July I will be flying into Buenos Aires from Sydney. On the 31st October I will be flying into London from Rio. The bits in between Argentina and Brazil......Bolivia, Peru & Chile. That is, thus far, as much as I've figured out. A lot of good can be said about flying by the seat of your pants...throwing caution to the wind and allowing the sweet, sweet waters of the world to wash over you. There will be dining out after midnight in Bs As (finally a city that is as nocturnal as I am), learning more about Cumbia villera, much dancing of the tango & salsa, jumping around at a Baile Funk in Sao Paulo whilst trying to avoid being shot, witnessing the full moon on the Argentinian salt flats, skiing in the Andes, drinking of much local wine in Mendoza, eating of delicious vegetable empanadas, antique market shopping, exploring of ruins and of course the riding of many, many white ponies. On arriving in London I will move into my flat on the east side, find a job and proceed to live...london styles, for as long as they'll 'ave me! Booooya!
i am chronically nocturnal - i care about the enviroment & animals more than i care about some people - i once burnt a hole through the sole of my shoe from dancing too fast - i believe in the inherent goodness of man - i enjoy cleaning my house to irrationally loud techno - i once broke my own heart - i suffer from a mild identity crisis on most days - i love hot chips with too much vinegar - i would like to publish my memoirs one day -my friends are my sanity - i like to drink expensive champagne straight from the bottle - writing lists makes me feel like im achieving things
