Growing up with tales of jungles, tigers, monkeys and all the romance of Asia and the Far East, the author’s life has taken him from darkest Africa, dullest England and on to the sweaty climes of the Tropics. From fire-walking in the Australian bush to struggling through thigh-deep snow high in the Himalayas; and in the wake of several shattered relationships, the author has explored all the dark and sweaty crannies of his life lured on by the thousands of other intrepid souls who have gone before him and are sure to follow in search of answers to the meaning of life and a reliable heat-rash cream. Joining a long list of expat wayward souls, the author’s irreverent sense of humor born from years of street theatre, teaching and general desperation have led him and continue to lead him from one set of off-beat experiences to another in what are arguably some of the most exotic and culturally-rich places in the world. The author has variously incarnated as an award-winning actor and children’s music artist; corporate theatre bon vivant; teacher; writer; musician; juggler; magician; Jack-of-all-trades and master of possibly one or two. This is the author’s first published book, his other work includes children’s music albums, self-help audio tapes and two high school musicals which have been produced internationally.view less
