I had his first taste of travel at the age of five when he left India for Australia. On the way I picked up the travel bug and have not shaken it since. After finishing his degree in Industrial Chemistry, I realised two things: one, being clumsy and playing with chemicals will always be a source of amusement, and two, once you have been bitten by the travel bug there is no cure. By my final year at university it was not uncommon to see me spacing out and drooling contentedly every time a plane flew over chemistry building. Instead of fighting it, I gave in and after I graduated, filled with an unquenchable thirst for adventure and European beer, I left Australia to take on the world. I Have since returned to my Sydney home, where I am planning my next holiday, writing my next book, and continuing to play with chemicals, much to the amusement of my workmates who always have a video camera handy.
