About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see and embrace as much of Europe as i can on a super tight budget!

ABOUT ME

Well, 18 years old. Finished high school last year and decided to take a year off before heading off to uni next year to study some form of engineering. I spent the first half of the year bumming around home, and i'll spend the next half bumming around Europe!
I'm not what you'd call a "sportsy" person but i enjoy keeping fit.
I love to go see bands, especially big concerts.
I tend to be a little bit shy when first meeting people but after a little while (or a few drinks) i'll warm up to anyone.

PHILOSOPHY

I read a quote once that went something along the lines of "Life is a journey, not a destination". It went on to explain that too many people waste their lives trying to reach a certain point in their lives where "real life" would begin. When really these obstacles, which we are constantly overcoming to get to this supposed point in our life, ARE our life.

Interests

Above all, i love music. Been playing trumpet for 6 years, as well as mucking around on anything else i can find; but i've never been a brilliant player and so i prefer the listening aspect of music. I listen to as much music as i can, but mostly it would be classified under the contemporary rock genres. Particularly - grunge, punk, ska, alt, indie.
I tend to steer clear from modern hip-hop, R&B and rap, as well as ditsy pop tunes.
I love my board-sports - wakeboarding, kiteboarding, snowboarding, surfing. I also love boxing, been doing it for four years, had one amateur fight (lost it!) and plan on having a few more.
