About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find my way to Trafalgar square, to see the olympians march through town. Yippee

ABOUT ME

I guess my mates would say I'm a bit of a fruit-cake. What a boring life it would be if we were all the same!
I'm currently travelling in Europe for 4 months, through the UK, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Spain and in between.
I am searching for the 'Meaning of Life' also, if anyone knows, please feel free to share! :)

PHILOSOPHY

I'm in the process of working this out. I know that I'm restless for a reason and life seems to go by so fast. And we're all so preoccupied with work, friends, technology and the media have such an influence on us, that we don't often stop and think about the real reason we're here. I think it's a journey we're all taking and if we want to learn and grow and gain more fulfillness in our lives, then we have to slow down and think about things in depth. Learn to appreciate the little things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living and working in Cape Tribulation, in far North Queensland Australia, where the oldest surviving rainforest in the world, the Daintree Rainforest meets the Great Barrier Reef. The only place in the world where 2 World Heritage sites are side by side. Magic!!
Seeing Humpback whales breaching off the coast of Cape Trib. Truly majestic creatures.
