Biography
"Some people are born with natural talent. Unfortunately the best I got was an abnormally large tongue. So long, in fact, that I imagine the stork had to sling it over his feathered back to counter its dormant weight when dropping me off.
"As a child I could hardly keep it in my mouth - talking too much, sticking it out too often and always getting it stuck to ice cubes. But as I, and my tongue, have grown and bonded together, I realise how integral this floppy organ is to who I am today.
"It has pushed me to ask more questions than I should and to devour countless new foods and drinks in search of fresh tastes with a zealous fervor that borders on obsession.
"Every curve of it wants to salivate a new flavour, hankering for something different. Most importantly it has given me an insatiable appetite for new experiences."
