I'm just an average guy who likes to travel and do other average things.

I work as a digital marketing consultant in the small town of Brisbane. I've almost finished my training as a commercial pilot, and hope to get into that some time in the distant future.

I have a lot of interests, which you can probably read about below.. umm... aside from that, i think everything else is outlined further on in! Carry on!

PHILOSOPHY

is a philosophy that is personal.
