Here I am. This is me.

Small information about the country:
- Australia is a Commonwealth country of the (former) British Empire, although we no longer have strong ties to the British Monarchy as 100 years ago. These days, we have stronger relations with much of the Asian countries (particularly China), as Australia is located in the Asian Pacific region.
Henceforth why Australia is often referred to  as the Commonwealth of Australasia.


- Back to work in journalism (freelance)
I am a freelance journalist and also work on short stories and science fiction, to which some of my works include:
- The Hard Way, Kyle, The Frontier, The Eclipse ('The Frontier' sequel), The Rhapsody Trio, Hope Chronicles (1-3 of 4 parts)

I loathe above all else:
- Spiders: Every spider I see has always chased me. I will not go within 5 feet of one, living OR dead!
- Flying roaches: It is bad enough that they are on the ground, but flying!?
- Nail files: I cannot stand watching anyone who files their nails . It always sends a shiver down my spine.
- Heights: Since we do not have wings, it is a justifiable phobia, quiaff?

Goals: -
Be the first to walk around Australia and other main continents of the World.

Favourite comedians:
- Jimeoin (Irish)
- Carl Baron (Australian)
