Australian born, Spaceman Africa is a travel junkie who decided upon a legal name change after consuming a few too many beers in a Dublin pub, back in 2002. Spaceman has enjoyed writing about the funny encounters, adventures and mishaps that he's experienced from more than ten years travelling, including winning an online name-of-the-year poll in 2008. Spaceman is currently based in his home city of Canberra, working and saving money for his next trip abroad. Along with travel, writing has always been a significant pastime for Spaceman. He worked for six months as a journalist/editor for the Cochabanner magazine in Cochabamba, Bolivia. He's an alumnus and member of the travel writing Matador Creators Community and holds a certificate in copyediting and proofreading. 2018 will see Spaceman self-publish two books. Who's that Weirdo Dancing in the Corner? is a travel memoir of Spaceman's adventures travelling the world from 1997 to 2007. Spaceman Africa the Musical consists of a book of twelve of Spaceman's funniest stories, and an indie rock album featuring songs written and performed by Spaceman about the stories in the book.
