Nationality
British living in Indonesia.

Docent
I have a very good knowledge of Bali, some other areas of Indonesia (especially East Java) and many of the inner London districts.. I can act as a Wikivoyage Docent for all those destinations. Please leave me any questions you have on my talk page or if necessary send me an email.

Bali became a project
It was only supposed to be a bit of tidying up...... A microcosm of my life really.

When Bali is done.... perhaps Java, region by region. That's a hell of a task. Let's see how it goes with East Java. Update: East Java has gone as far as I can take it - three or four articles short of guide region status. It is nonetheless now a very developed guide, certainly better than any other available for this region.

On December 30th 2009, Bali became Wikivoyage's first ever star region guide.

Other projects

 * The London Collaboration of the month for December, prompted a huge amount of work, especially on the inner boroughs.


 * Working on as many region maps and the associated country regionalisation as I can find time for, as part of the Region maps expedition. This is my biggest commitment of time and energy to Wikivoyage.


 * As well as maps for Africa, a lot of work on various African articles. There is a considerable amount to do to knock the continent into Wikivoyage shape.


 * After Bali was finished, working on a number of other Indonesian sub-regions, including East Java, Lombok and Central Java.--(WT-en) Burmesedays 03:36, 12 April 2010 (EDT)

Articles taken to star status
With varying degrees of help, I must add.
 * On December 30th 2009, Bali became Wikivoyage's first ever star region guide.
 * On January 26th 2010, Hampstead became Wikivoyage's first British star guide.
 * On March 7th 2010, Nusa Lembongan became only Wikivoyage's second non-developed world star guide using a city template.
 * On April 4th 2010, Ubud followed Nusa Lembongan and became Wikivoyage's third non-developed world star guide using a city template.

Cleaning the family silver
Yes, I am an administrator here and do my best to keep things clean and tidy. If ever you feel I have acted incorrectly over the treatment of an edit, please let me know on my talk page.

Loves, hates and wishes
Thanks to (WT-en) Peterfitzgerald and (WT-en) Globe-trotter for the (adapted) table lay-out.

Upcoming travel plans
Sadly none..... I am far too busy :(

Maps
I am slowly getting to grips with producing Wikivoyage style maps and those below are my favourites. All of the maps I have drawn for Wikivoyage are catalogued (WT-en) here.
