This blog is a collection of random stories, anecdotes and thoughts in general. I started it back in September 2004 when my lifestyle as a wanderer began with an exchange trip to France. As the people, places and shenanigans blur together this blog is as much a tool to remind myself of what I have done and who I have met as it is to inform my friends and family that I am, in fact, still alive.

Australia takes another blow
It has been a bad week for Australia. First, possibly our most famous icon is killed in a freak accident. The second of its kind; ever. Those are pretty shitty odds if you ask me. Someone said to me "he couldn't have died in a more archetypically 'Australian' fashion. Maybe they were right. If Steve Irwin were to go, it would have to be a giant shark, The biggest crocodile known to man or... the most peaceful of all sea creatures? But today Australia was kicked while she was down. Peter Brock, one of the greatest drivers in history was killed when his car hit a tree during a race. Steve, Brocky: we'll miss you guys. Its not going to be the same without you down under.
