About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying very hard not to grow up

ABOUT ME

I can't sit still. I love travelling. I'm mad for anything with water - surfing, diving, swimming.
I am pretty laid back most of the time, but anxiously punctual, being late kills me.
I'll try anything once, and probably a few more times after that just to make sure I really don't like it.
Just moved to Townsville, learning to kite surf, sail and diving again

PHILOSOPHY

Currently auditioning benefactors. Apply within.
