About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visit every country.

ABOUT ME

Need to update my profile when I get the chance; recently moved to Melbourne and it is the best thing I have ever done!

I am 23 years young and doing my best at visiting every country possible so that I can experience as many cultures and truly embrace every place. I have spent what seems all my life in Education but have concentrated a lot of my time and efforts since I was 16 traveling to new exciting places.

I am very laid back as traveling has taught me to take things as they come, coming from a culture where people get annoyed when a train is 1 minute late I enjoy distancing myself from this mindset as much as I can.

In the past I have traveled with big groups on expeditions to far places such as China, Mongolia, India but I have also taken trips where it has been just myself or a couple of people in places such as South Africa and Tanzania. This time I am traveling with a friend across South East Asia and down the east coast of Australia.

PHILOSOPHY

Not all those who wander are lost - J.R.R Tolkien

I am not exactly a massive fan of where this quote came from but I really like the meaning behind it. I feel like I have spent the last 5 years hoping around as much as I can from the UK, I enjoy being lost in new places far too much.

Interests

I enjoy sports from watching but most of all playing, my favourite is Football (or soccer in many places) and do my best to play as much as possible.

Other interest are getting lost in new places so that with any luck I find my way around, I find it an awesome way to see a new place.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a massive Harry Potter fan, any welcomed fanatic to have a chat with as well as Doctor Who. I guess I come across a bit geeky on this front, but we are all geeky for our own books in our own ways.

I love to read, especially when traveling and I would love to work my way through the classics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed to the top of Kilimanjaro, learnt to ride a horse in Mongolia, cycled across a section of the Himalayas... I love a good adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since leaving university I have felt a huge change, I have realised that I am not finished learning, I don't think you can ever finish learning. So I have been teaching myself new skills which I could share with others. Most recently is knitting and very I am trying to learn Portuguese.

I could help others with football (soccer)/ we could just go for a kick about. Any team ball sports basically I could share with anyone.
