design/decoration of my Barber Shop, the people I associate with in life and the things that keep me occupied in the evenings. There's little or nothing in my life that isn't influenced by music some way or another.
What's next for you? And do you have any last words or advice to creative minds out there & budding travellers?
The next steps are to open another Barber Shop in Mauritius and one in Dublin. While I do this I will continue to gig at every chance I get.
Last words... I don't claim to be a wealth of global and cultural knowledge but I've seen and done quite a bit over the last 15 years despite the health restrictions placed on me, so if I was to offer some generalised advise to budding travellers it would be as follows:
a. Compassion! I have little time for organised religion but I suppose I should at least consider myself an agnostic. But there is one thing that sits well with every religion and culture around the world and that is; 'Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself' - As far as I'm concerned, we need more compassionate people in this world. I can't stress that enough. If you live your life in a compassionate manner, life will be much easier and you will be a much happier person.
b. Keep an open mind... The more you accept and learn about other people and other cultures, whether it's in your own country or the other side of the world., the more people will accept you and the more intelligent and enlightened you will become over time.
c. Don't let restrictions in your life, control your life. Work around them and experience as much as you can. You will only get one go at life on this planet and it could end any time so make the most of it.
d. Keep up to date with global affairs. Knowledge of how other people are living around the world is extremely beneficial in many ways.
e. Learn to speak a different language and put it to use.
