About Me

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
- Mark Twain.

After being stuck in the educational system for three years at University, I have decided to take the plunge and go off travelling the world, starting with Australia and New Zealand rather than accept defeat and go into the real world of jobs and mortgages.

Having travelled to various locations with my parents all over the world including India, China, the USA and all over Europe

Very keen traveller, plan is to get to all the continents on this planet by the age of 25 (nearly there, just South America left)
