About Me

I'm currently back in the UK though I was living in Beijing before. Travelling is important to me. One day I'll be old and wont have the enthusiasm to travel, so I want to do as much as I can now

A favorite quote (...i love the quotes), is one that I've tried to put into practice as much as i can: 'Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.' - Mark Twain
