I'm a travel writer - who travels, and then writes about it. Now in Sydney after five years in NYC acting, a year bumming around Southeast Asia as a toy boy and dive resort "shop girl", a season as a nanny on a snowboard, two years leading tours around Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, China & India, and now settled in to this crazy-fun city filled with crazy-good-looking people that crazily speak English(ish). Days tend to start with dlisted.com, noon at the David Jones food hall, wind up at McGym (Fitness First), and digress into "a vodka tonic & a good time" if I can help it.
Interests
Champagne and oysters, crap movies on the couch, Bodypump & Abdolates (its a good hurt), happy hour(s) at my local, the beach, semi-naked Australians, snowboarding

Mardi Gras is arguably one of Australia’s most famous events – its contribution to gay rights, culture and social change has been felt right around the world. But can its future be just as amazing as its past?

Gay Ski Week NZ runs from August 29 to September 8 and despite what the name suggests, there’s a whole lot more to Gay Ski Week NZ than just a week of gays skiing in New Zealand.

If you haven't read a David Sedaris book, you simply haven't lived. Few come close to his biting sarcasm, his wit and his ability to have you roar with laughter. His writing is proof that truth is stranger, and often much funnier, than fiction.
