ABOUT ME

Ah don't you just love it when your asked to write about yourself? Me neither...

However I should give it a go.

Well I'm Barry, 28, Scottish, I'm a youth worker with a degree in Community Development.

Im an outgoing intorovert if that makes any sense. I enjoy working with people, I'm enjoy the company of others but also being an only child there are times where I like my own space.

I am from the city but I have a passion for the outdoors whether it's doing outdoor activities or exploring wild places. But you will also catch me having fun indoors, watching tv and eating a lot of ice cream. I enjoy going to the cinema, the pub and maybe even going for a jive. (dance)

I guess all the other stuff you need to know is down below...

PHILOSOPHY

Wow this is a hard question. I guess if I had to pick a philosophy I would be centred around equality and fairness. The Golden Rule is pretty cool. I'm also a fan of sustainable living in terms of food and energy and still trying to figure out how i can implement that in my own life. I'm really just a big fan of good people, good food, good beer, good banter and mixing them up to have adventures.
