It may sound a bit overdone but it just happens to be true. I think I’m the luckiest man I know.I’ve had (and am still having) a life full of rich and different experiences. Lucky not to die in the underwater caves of South Australia, prawn boat deck hand on Australia's Barrier Reef, an AFS volunteer working with exchange students from many different countries, flying hangliders 12,000 feet above the Australian outback, getting frightened fighting bushfires, teaching English in Thailand and South Korea and time as a Buddhist monk in rural Thailand are just a few off a list I almost can't believe myself.Through all this, I have developed a passion for bringing people of different cultures together. It is only through learning about each other that we come to understand that, though we may be different in many ways, we are all the same human beings underneath. We all laugh and cry, we all bleed the same colour blood when cut, we all need food and we all share this beautiful planet.Let us hope that through understanding, we can attain the tolerance required to help make this world a better place.My writing allows me to explore ideas, emotions, people, relationships and occasionally morality. Although I have been told I shouldn’t, I jump the boundaries between children’s books, adult fiction and poetry. I am much more comfortable with things that set us free rather than those that limit expression.I write for the simple pleasure of it, though also in the hope that some of my scribble might inspire someone, somewhere, to work, in some small way, towards making a better world for our children.visualizza meno
