My name is Simon Bourne. I'm 27-years-old, born in Scunthorpe (North Lincolnshire) but have lived in County Durham since the age of 7. I have many passions in life, the main one being football. I also love the idea of being paid to travel the world, but then again, who wouldn't want that? I love to be creative and over the last 5 years I have become more and more dedicated to improving my skills in whatever genre possible. I joined this site as a result of this dedication to be creative. I practice my methods, writing, photography... whatever really! My first book tells the story of my 3 week journey around India in 2009. You can find it here on www.blurb.com... Anyway… what more is there to say about me? I'm Simon Bourne, I have a beautiful wife, I'm 27-years-old, & I am ALIVE!
