Life experience
Many texts have benefited from my eclectic cross-curricular knowledge base. This has arisen from experiences ranging from managing an upmarket travel company to rewilding an organic farm, from attaining a private pilot's licence to crewing a tall ship, and from learning ki-aikido to getting a degree in classics, astronomy and cutting-edge linguistics.
