Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
travel to places that are away from the norm while living and learning from the local people
ABOUT ME
I have had a passion for travel from ever since i can remember. I am a layed back and fairly down to earth personality, i dont let to many things bother me. I was born in Western Australia but moved to Queensland when i was 2 and grew up on a nature reserve in the Hinterland close to the beach. I have spent the best part of my travels so far doing volunteer work in various African Countries and hitchhiking around Europe. I have enjoyed this alot as i was able to make friends with the locals rather than just a short visit where you see whats there and then move on.
PHILOSOPHY
My own wise word -
take it as it comes. Let trees fall on your path, it is these diversions that make for a momorable ride.
Someone else's own wise words -
Just go for it, if it all goes wrong then you can go back to your old life, if you don't try it you will be wondering for ever what could have happened if you had
