CURRENT MISSION

I would like to travel to as many countries as possible! I would love to pick up a few languages

ABOUT ME

Except for a small stint in the Florida Keys when I was 6, I grew up in KL, Malaysia until I was 12 then the family moved to the UK and I've been here since.

I'm a pretty laid back person. I love travelling because it gives me the opporunity to share new experiences with people. I'm a paramedic in the UK and a few years ago I was working in Italy snowboarding everyday! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Play validates itself.

Interests

Sports! I did a Sports Science and Physiology degree and loved it. Name a sport and I've probably played it. If I haven't, I want to.

Travelling of course! Adventure trips. I love going snowboarding, climbing and scuba diving, but there are so many other things to do and explore. Would love to go hiking/camping through central Iceland, jump in a car and tour Europe, travel around South America - visit Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia when it's flooded so I can walk on the sky.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've hiked up a very small mountain in Penang in Malaysia to a small monastery village to see a giant statue of the laughing buddha. It was great! And huge!

Toured around Europe for a couple months in 2007, never knowing where I was going next. Made it up to lapland with a couple mates to see Santa, only to find that he was on holiday. One month later I was on a tropical island in Thailand and there he was, chilling out in a hammock with a beer in his hand! And boy was he drunk. He asked me to get him another drink and one for myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

Rock climbing!

I've been a student of the sports disciplines for years so I know a far amount about exercise and nutrition, and can cook pretty healthy and yummy stuff. If you enjoy food, nothing else matters!

I'm open to learning anything because hey, that's life, that's living! I'd love to learn how to build an igloo because, you know, if you're ever stuck out in an ice storm it could come in handy :) I've heard igloos get pretty warm.

I'd love to learn another language. I suppose this is one of the things all monolingual people have on their list, but one day I will do it! One day I will pack up and move to another country for a year and stay in a town where not one word of English is spoken!
