My Background

Where I am fron is a good question and one that I dread as it leads into a long monologue. So here goes: I was born in 1975, and when I was very young I left England (where I was born) and moved every 2 to 4 months (Kuwait, Cairo, Tanzania, Milan plus more) until I settled down for longer. As follows:

• Liberia (3 years until Samuel Doe in 1980)
• Oman (5 years – primary school)
• Hong Kong (4 years – my high school)
• Singapore (4 years – the rest of my high school)
• London (6 years – University and first 4 years of KPMG work)
• Sydney (7 years – 3 with KPMG and 4 with TigerSpike)
• New York (2008 until now)

So yeah, I don’t really belong anywhere. My Oma (dad’s mum) is Irish, Opa (dad’s dad) is mostly Dutch, but had an Indonesian grandmother (one cousin got the good skin though.. dammit). My mum’s parents are both English, so I have to align with England really, but always support Holland in the football. I have Dutch, English and Australian passports so am citizens of those places I guess.
