I grew up between Japan, England, Germany and Australia. After I finished school I spent 5 months in a language school in Munich (Germany), then completed my military service in the mountains of Germany. I completed a degree at Monash University in Melbourne in Marketing and Sales Management. I also have flying qualifications as a Grade 1 flying instructor and continue to work in the aviation environment as an airline pilot. I have always had a passion for travel and discovering other cultures. During on of the many visits to Europe, I discoved my passion for Italy, its people, its food, it wine and its culture. With two business partners I have now established national Italian lifestyle magazine called Italianicious.

anything by Terry Pratchet

"It's not the critic that counts. Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or whether the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, and often comes up short again and again. Who knows the great enthusiasms and spends himself in a worthy cause. And who, if at best in the end, knows the triumph of higher treatment and high achievement. And who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his soul shall never be with those cold and timid ones who know neither victory nor defeat."
- Leo Buscaglia (quoting Theodore Roosevelt)
