Outside adland, I’m a big fan of photography, exploring, writing about exploring, experimenting with new tech, freezing my arse off climbing big cold mountains, writing about that too, and wallowing in hot onsens.

I also try to inject a little creativity into everything I do. Here are some examples.

Wallowing excluded.
