About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world and the Seven Seas

ABOUT ME

I like packing loads of stuff into my life and rushing around, I'm always late as my panic mode for when I need to leave seems to be a bit off piste. I hate taking photos as I fear it distorts my memory. I like signing myself up to do horrible things and then it makes the rest of my life seem like a pleasant breeze. I can't really say no to anything. I love getting myself into awkward situations.
