Ok!!! As of the 11th of November im free from uni and ready to explore. Lets explore Tassie 😀

ABOUT ME
WOW... this could take a while: There is far too much to say here, so I will keep it relevant and as interesting as possible.
I have always dreamed of traveling the world, fueled by a book by Dr Seuss called 'OH, the places you'll go' when I was young.
Somewhere along this Journey of School > work > partners > work > house and more work - the 'Travel' component has been missed. SO... here I AM. Ready to LIVE and experience the real world.
Australia, I have been fortunate to explore this amazing land quite extensively. I am from Tasmania (small island south of the "mainland"). Its beauty and innocence is captivating and a must for any person visiting Aussie land. I am happy to be a tour guide for the north of the state.
I think the easiest way to know me would be to msg me and ask away. I'm easy going and very energetic, I would love to learn new things, and meet new people, this is the whole point of surfing this world.
"...You're off to great places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So. . . get on your way!" - Dr Seuss.
PHILOSOPHY
I feel my Philosophy and thoughts have changed in recent years...I see my life through the eyes of a kid; Imagination and excitement of the world. I love kids books and shows. Adventure Time is a monster-beating, wild ride of philosophical mayhem! I love it.
I've stopped building castles in the sky, and living more in the moment.
So many things I want to do... lets just do it.
I believe in Love - it will come.
Karma.
Do your best at everything, be proud of your achievements and always aim to improve. no one is perfect.
Party on.
