I’ve always been inquisitive. It comes in part from living on the most isolated continent in the world. A lost day in a plane from almost everywhere. To me It’s never been enough to simply accept why we all do things differently.

From the day that I left school and foolishly believed I was ready to judge the world, I’ve been snooping about. Breathing it in. Mesmorised and intoxicated by the sights, smells and unfamiliar noises beyond my own front door. I am happiest on my bike because there are no filters. Life slaps you around the face. Strangers are more curious than scared of a guy silently wobbling along on a loaded bike.

I am definitely out of my comfort zone in these unfamiliar places yet feel wonderfully alive. Take a journey with me as I try to make sense of this weird and ever changing world.

Enjoy the ride.
