A young at heart Old soul making the most of life

Travelled a lot in my 20's

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen and done so many amazing things but being in the police put me in a situation where I was privileged enough to assist in making a difference in some lives and even saving a life which gave me an outlook of, live for now and make the most of every precious minute
