About

I am an expat, living in Brussels with my partner. I’m English, but when people ask, I tell them that I’m recovering well from it.

Before Brussels I lived in the English Lake District, where I worked for the National Trust. I climbed a lot of mountains, fell off a couple of them and traveled widely. After Cumbria, I was offered a job for a British NGO in Tanzania, where I happily lived in the bush for a few years.

Dealing with strange and unusual cultures and a crumbling infrastructure was an excellent preperation for life in Belgium.

I’ve been designing websites since 1997 and blogging from 2000.
