: About Me

I have recently completed my first book titled "Intellectual Vagabond - The Great Escape from Babylondon", in which I document my eventful entertaining and inspiring journey as an international student in the UK, and my battles with mediocrity and self-doubt to achieve my goals.

My book is available to order, and an excerpt can be read on my webpage: http://www.tamarehouse.com/intellectualvagabond

People outside the UK can find my book on Amazon.com from the 1st of November.

I am a freelance writer and prospective research scientist. My areas of interest include HIV therapeutics, nutrition intervention for infectious diseases, food and agriculture - including water sanitation.

My intention is to conduct a research project that involves utilising locally grown foods in the nutrition recovery of HIV patients. Once successful, this project will be based in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa - however, I still face many obstacles such as funding, and others that I have highlighted in my book.

I also blog for Ivili.org, which is a website dedicated to highlighting examples of sustainable living across the world - http://www.ivili.org/profile/KeironAudain

The last 20 years has seen AIDS transform from a gay related disease to an African epidemic. A survey conducted in 1999 showed that out of 480,000 AIDS related child deaths (less than 15 years of age), 430,000 were from Sub-Saharan Africa, with less than 100 deaths coming from Western Europe and the United States.
