Jamie Andrews

Jamie is co-founder of Loco2. He travelled around Eastern Europe by train in 2006 but since then he's been too busy working on Loco2 to do much more travelling (oh the irony!), except for a three-week triple festival extravaganza in Croatia/Serbia in 2007 (you might have guessed that he likes Eastern Europe) and more recently a delightful week break in France in August 2009. http://jamieandrews.name
