2016 highlight of the year

Managing to fake my way through producing an entire nine-part music web series. My team still doesn't realise I don't know what I'm doing. Landing myself in a Thai hospital for a week and smoking a joint that a nurse brought in on the balcony. Almost getting kidnapped in Bangkok - highlight is the 'almost' bit. Surfing in Uluwatu. Making new friends, opening up new experiences and giving my liver a workout.

prediction for 2017

Launches LunchBox TV. Breaks the internet.
