Hi, thanks for checking out my Bio.

I am just an ordinary guy in my 30's, and live on my 37 ft Yacht "Golden Travelly", which is moored in Cairns Harbour, Queensland, Australia, which is on the eastern side of Australia. Home of the Great Barrier Reef.

I am currently studying to be a Freelance Journalist, and find "Helium" a great place to hone my craft. There are some really talented writers here, and I really enjoy "Raising the bar", in an attempt to get the highest score. Its just great.

When I am not writing or studying, I enjoy Sailing my yacht, visiting the many Islands and Reefs here.

Well, thats all I can think of for now, but its enough to prove YES, the is a "Real" person at the other end of these Articles and my computer.

Thanks for your time, and take care of yourself!

Dave
