Overview
About Me
**CURRENTLY ON THE ROAD**
To Live My Life As Though I Wouldnt Live Forever
ABOUT ME
I love to travel, see new places and converse with new and interesting people. Over the last years i have been locked in an office in England and slowly planning my escape. I am a qualified climbing instructor and plan to be working outdoors finally when we return :). Over the last year I have been travelling around New Zealand in a van I converted and recently practiced meditation in South East Asia. I run, climb and often hike several times a week back at home.
I want to see how other people live and love and learn so I can feel more for my own country when the passion dies down.
I'm a very active person as i need to keep up with my racing mind. I'm a believer in karma and simply treating those how you want to be treated.
PHILOSOPHY
The old cliche you only live once......and it scares the hell out of me. I want to gather every bit the world can give me! Meet as many new people as I can, see the sun set over whole new places...gain memories and stories that will last a life time.
