About

Zoutpiel is Bryan Collins.
This blog was started as a way for me to experiment on the web, combined with the wish to occasionally share things with friends in an unobtrusive way.

The first rule of blogging is ‘be specific’ - focus on a topic and cover it well. This blog does anything but that, and as such will never be a popular blog. Zoutpiel.com is a smorgasboard of interesting content. Interesting to me though. I sincerely hope you find some of it interesting too, there are a few gems in here.

my journey thus far…

I was born in Cape Town and lived there until 1995, and for the last 13 years I’ve been a zoutpiel: London 3 years, SA 2 years, London 2 years, Jersey City 2 years, Sydney 3+ years (incl almost 1 year in Amsterdam short trips). When I first went overseas my objective was to travel as much as possible, but unfortunately we all gotta work. So far, I’ve travelled to 35 different countries and visited some many, many times. 

I have 2 children, Jarred is 4 and Eryn is 3. I am starting 2008 very content to stay put and enjoy my beautiful children in the extended backyard of NSW Australia. 

This blog is for me - somewhere to either jot down an opinion or idea; or record a video that was amusing or profound.
