a bit more about damien
I was born in Hobart, Tasmania before moving to Canberra where I went to university and earned my Bachelor of Industrial design, graduating in 2002. I left Australia soon after to backpack around Europe for about a year before settling in the Netherlands. I now live in Utrecht with my wife and children, from where it is relatively easy to travel further in my endeavour to explore the rest of Europe, and the World.
