About me

 After an early career lifeguarding at nudist clubs, conducting pregnancy tests and weighing human organs in a morgue, Simon set off for Asia for several years, staying as far off the beaten track as possible. Upon return to the UK, Simon decided that off the beaten track was preferable and went back to work as a farmer in Vietnam for 4 years. Simon returned to live in London and Brighton, setting up the award winning social enterprise, StreetShine, before crossing the Sahara and landing a job managing a lodge in Senegal, where he decided it was time to do something else, but he’s not entirely sure what that is yet.
