CURRENT MISSION

To live Korea then with money saved do 6 months of travel. Very excited!

ABOUT ME

I would say that I'm a pretty relaxed English guy, though very captivated by social encounters: Needless to say, I love hanging out having a laugh and doing random things. I like getting outdoors, soaking up places (activities, history, lounging with intent) and generally deepening my knowledge of the world - hence the call for travel. I'm currently on a big trip mission through Oceania and South East Asia after doing ESL in Korea for a year (South).

PHILOSOPHY

"The highest reward for man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it." -John Ruskin 1819-1900

"Philosophy begins when one learns to doubt - particularly to doubt one's cherished beliefs, one's dogmas and one's axioms." -Will Durant

"I became aware of my destiny: to belong to the critical minority as opposed to the unquestioning majority." -Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)
