Hi, Iโ€™m Himal!

Hit the road a couple of months ago. Mostly travelling with bits of pro bono consulting/coaching/mentoring. Taking a big break from working. Writing a book.

Formerly Head of Technology for GOV.UK in the UK and lifelong Londoner. Before that independent contractor. Software dev, moving to architecture and then organisation design and strategy.

Enjoy running, hiking, single malts, cocktails, good food, live music (rock/metal/classical) and theatre. Into a lot of things!

Love connecting with people. Live for chats. Hoping to meet others on the road! ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Scenic journey on Northern Explorer train from Auckland. Settled into a little studio by Island Bay. Very hilly! Good for runs once you get down the hill. Good base to explore the rest of New Zealand. Many mini trips.

    Melbourne is a fun and cute compact city. There are so many fun things to do here such as visit is beaches, go to its theme parks out of the CBD area. Its city CBD is so much fun as well. You can visit the Queen Victoria market which is the largest outdoors market in the world! You can also visit Federation Square which is a beautiful park on the edge of the CBD, and you can visit the Eureka Skydeck and Australia 108 which are the tallest buildings in Australia if you exclude the antenna from th

    Honestly, this is an awesome place to be if you're actually trying to get work done. It's a bit of an older vibe than Canggu, and there's certainly a big chunk of yogi's kicking around โ€” but I liked it much better than Canggu and found it less pretentious. Plus, you can drive down there in 45mins whenever you want some beach or party vibes. As others mentioned, there's some great coworking spaces, cheap warungs, some really nice spots to stay cheaply if you go just outside of the mad tourist
