J. Sim – our newest contributor to Roadjunky moderates our travel forums and keeps the site honest. Jaded and insightful, we believe assigning him the Sisyphus-like task of getting the ball rolling in the forum community good punishment for whatever his former sins may be. This is what he has to say for himself:

J.Sim, aka JamJam, is a wharf rat born and bred who went on to become a soldier, teacher, financial and media analyst. He has travelled in six continents, including a return overland trip across Asia with only two tapes in his walkman – Trainspotting and Astrud Gilberto, which explains why he is slightly unhinged and is allergic to bossa nova.

JamJam is incapable of patience, singing in tune or moderation in any aspect of life. But he more than makes up for it by being an accomplished tapas cook and having very elegant fingers.

His ideal island paradise has Andaman beaches, Himalayan hills, Spanish lasses, Californian grub, Celtic craic and Hawaiian weather.
