So...other than the obvious love of travel, the main things I'm into are music & books. The more diverse the better, as I love checking out new styles/genres etc.

Novels...

I love a weird mixture of Authors:

Janet Evanovich
Meera Syal
Haruki Murakami
Giles Milton
Stephen Donaldson
Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Nick Hornby
William Dalrymple
Jonathan Kellerman
Hanif Kureishi
Philip Pullman
Paul Theroux
Ashok K. Banker
Orhan Pamuk
Joanne Harris
Manda Scott
Michael Palin

There's tons of other Authors I love...

Music...

If you want to understand a place, listen to its music...

Flook
Rishi Rich
David Bowie
A R Rahman
Souad Massi
Amadou & Mariam
Nitin Sawhney
Ska Cubano
Kiran Ahluwalia
Afro Cuban AllStars
Salif Keita
Bebel Gilberto
Juggy D
Angelique Kidjo
Bebo & Cigala
Prem Joshua
The Clash
Mariza
Tinariwen
Jay Sean
Santana
Amparanoia
Yasmin Levy

Like the novels...the list goes on...

Travels...

I adore Asia...although I've seen many other places too. Just started building some pages....main ones so far are China & India...and the most complete pages are on Goa. But its a slow process as I'm having to scan in all my photo's! So...if you find 'just' photo's...I'll be heading back to put text in soon...well...soonish!

Lately I've put some effort into building some pages on my hometown of London...but it looks like a long haul!

I have a gorgeous little companion...her name is 'Pooh'...and here is her latest photo! Pooh is ten years old, very camera shy...thinks she's human (loves people...hates dogs!)...and is a cute 'person' to be around! Currently as I'm in Goa littele Pooh is staying with my sister, and is having great fun bossing her brother Huey around!

London was my home town...and I never tire of it...I love seeing other countries and cultures, but London is always welcoming. If you want diversity in all aspects of culture & food...then head for London! LOL! It was my home town, but now I only see it twice a year when I'm on a 'visa-run'.
