About me
British born Australian living in London since 2005. Lived in NSW for years and then Darwin NT, for 17 years. Have travelled throughout the country over many years, but spent most of my time camping, hiking and exploring the NT. Moved to Melbourne to live for 2 years before leaving Australia in 2005. Took a lengthy break backpacking much of Western (and bits of Eastern) Europe and then settled in London. Have since travelled extensively throughout Europe, bits of the US, Thailand and Japan.
