About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find my purpose!

ABOUT ME

FIRST OF ALL - APOLOGIES FOR LACK OF VERIFICATION / REFERENCES.. HAVE ONLY JUST REGISTERED, AND AM STRUGGLING WITH SETTING EVERYTHING UP, WHAT WITH USING SHONKY HOSTEL COMPUTERS, AND BEING ON THE MOVE, BUT BARE WITH ME, I'm working on it!

I have come to consider myself something as a "Jack of all trades", as I have tried different sports, jobs, hobbies and have lived in various countries and learned a few languages. I like learning by travelling, as opposed to sitting at home and reading about places.
I currently live in Beijing, which is a pretty fun city. We have a rugby team - anyone coming to Bj please come and try out if you're interested. If I'm not working, or playing sport, it's more than likely that I'll be in a bar somewhere - so if you want a tour of the cheapest/dirtiest/most fun hangouts in the capital, then look no further.

PHILOSOPHY

Forget regret or life is yours to miss.
No day but today.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer - Rode a motorbike from Saigon to Hanoi, (Vietnam).
This summer - travelled round Tibet and up to Everest Base Camp.
Take That concerts.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really struggle with decisions. I think I've learned recently that it's too easy to get bogged down with options, instead of thinking of the bigger picture.
With regards to travelling, the world's not going anywhere, so you can always visit a place. But people matter, so I tend to shape my travelling round who I want to see, perhaps more than where I want to go.

It's the people that make a place afterall.
