CURRENT MISSION

"Traveling is like flirting with life. It's like saying, 'I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station."

ABOUT ME

I am multi lingual and can communicate within most countries and cultures throughout the world. Amazingly without any difficulty whatsoever. That's not me being big headed. It is because I was born profoundly deaf and my own true language is that of signing. As a result of this i can communicate with any deaf person throughout the world, and have strived throughout my life to travel and meet people in order to do this.

As I have not been able to hear all my life, visual language is incredibly important to me. I see this now was a positive, that I can develop and lean more about and contribute to.

A lot of people see deafness as a disability, true it does have its problems, but it also has its advantages, and I see it as a purely positive aspect of my life giving me an unique insight into a different silent world but where all of its members can communicate freely and openly using the multi expressive language of signing.

Therefore I can fluently talk to and understand foreigners who use signing without the need of an interpreter, this probably gives me a distinct advantage than a hearing English person in fact would.

I can also communicate within the hearing world and have achieved a good level of education with has
eventually led me to take the path to study at university and work.

I feel that my efforts to compete with my hearing peers reflect the character that I am. I am very determined and self motivated and strive to achieve all that I can possibly achieve in all facets of my life. I believe life should be enjoyed, treasured and lived to the full!

The experience of visiting your country and meeting, learning, living and communicating with its people can only be seen as an opportunity of a lifetime.

PHILOSOPHY

You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period.
