I’m an avid philosopher, writer, and traveller. I revel in all things meta; I laugh at calamity; I’m pleasantly surprised at the serendipitous.
Contra Plato, I don’t believe that writing cripples the memory. For me, writing does the opposite – and having an awful memory is just one of my many excuses to write.
I share the (not very original) life goal of travelling the world and mastering numerous languages. Since I seem to be a magnet for disaster, I’ve grown to write in a sardonic manner – caustic wit is my friend, cliche my enemy. There’s enough strife in the world and we may as well lighten it up with some humour. After all, the beauty of life is its unpredictability, so we may as well laugh it off when everything (inevitably) goes hideously wrong!
