Me, Myself, and I

I live to travel. Back in 1999 went overlanding across Africa (Nairobi to Cape Town). From 2001 to 2004 travelled through S E Asia, Australia and NZ. Have also been to the States, India, Nepal, Egypt and most countries in Europe. From 2006 onwards to Peru, Morocco,Brasil, Chile & Argentina. In April 2008 went to N Korea - an Axis Of Evil Tour; then the Silk Road in China & Central Asia and Turkey. Mexico, Guatemala and Belize in Oct/Nov and a few weeks in India over the winter period 2008/09. Heading to Tanzania in January 2010.

I hate the humdrum boring bourgeois existence that millions seem to follow so readily and intend to keep travelling for the rest of my life. Oh and by the way, Bloukrans Bungy in South Africa

Music

The greatest music has to be classical, my favourite composer is Tchaikovsky - and the Pathetique Symphony my favourite piece - music for the dark night of the soul.

Films

Double Indemnity, Brief Encounter, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, Vertigo, Psycho, A Taste Of Honey, Deliverance, Doctor Zhivago, Clockwork Orange, The Devils, Women In Love, Midnight Express, Brideshead Revisited, Gandhi, Elephant Man, Scum, Silence Of The Lambs, Once Were Warriors, Shawshank Redemption, Trainspotting, Gladiator, Hannibal, Road to Perdition, Lord Of The Rings and Touching The Void (the most incredible mountaineering epic and struggle for survival I've ever seen) and El Laberinto del Fauno, a gothic fairy tale for adults, with an unusual ending. Quite a good selection covering over half a century.

Sports

Any thing adventurous e.g. bungy jumping, white- water rafting, abseiling, hillwalking, swimming.

Scared Of

The bourgeois Western world with its rampant consumerism, market forces and corporate identity - in fact I hate such things

Happiest When

Travelling in exotic lands - anything different from the Western bourgeois routine

Favourite Books

Fiction - Anything by Dostoyevsky, Orwell, Steinbeck, Edgar Allan Poe, Hermann Hesse
Non-Fiction - Travelogues, Real-life events, Environmental and Cultural issues

Other Interests

Anything to do with the environment and plants, especially trees. And writing about it. I'm also vegetarian - give up the meat and save the world.
