About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"To spread banter around the world!"

ABOUT ME

Physically, I am about 6ft1 (for those of you in the metric system i think it´s about 1.87m), weighing in at 83kgs, brown hair, brown/hazel coloured eyes.

Personalitywise, I am fun loving and always up for a laugh and a good time. I love going to new places and meeting new people. I have done a fair bit of travelling in Australia, NZ, Asia and Central and South America. And of course Europe (my homeland!). I, like us all, am on a spiritual quest to find out who I really am, and what the hell we are doing here!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people how you want to be treated yourself. Be kind to yourself. Nothing really matters. What you give out, you will get back, so the more positive thoughts and things you put out there, the more you will receive back. Above all, be positive! Negative people have low energy levels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydived out of a plane in New Zealand

Teach, Learn, Share

1. Whatever happens to you, enjoy it. Things happen for a reason and a purpose and certain things are not in our sphere of influence. If you go through your day making the choice that your going to enjoy whatever happens (even if you get soaked by a bus driving through a muddy puddle!), you will be a lot happier.

2, In life, you always have a choice. If you get dumped out of a relationship then the conditioned response is one of sadness, but you have the option to feel positive about it and this is always the best way.
