I'm an Australian ex-pat scientist living working in Belgium. I have lived in Adelaide and Canberra in Australia, Seattle in the US and also Leuven and Brussels in Belgium. When work leaves me spare time I love to explore the world with my wonderful bride.

Toleration ought in reality to be merely a transitory mood. It must lead to recognition. To tolerate is to affront.

Leuven, Belgium -› Brussels, Belgium -› …
The glorious days of summer in Europe are over, now we will survive and enjoy winter in the Low Countries
Jul 10, 2009 – Sep 27, 2009
Brussels, Belgium -› Bath, England, UK -› …
Living in Brussels we are at the centre of an iron web stretching across continents. Every day I roll along the rails to work in Leuven, and when it comes time to travel the parallel bars run to London, Paris, Amsterdam and beyond. And every now and again we have a day to spend exploring our new city.
