CURRENT MISSION

To see the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm Gem. I guess the best way to describe me is a bit of a geek.. I love computers and technology.
I'm tall, pierced and tattooed, usually brightly coloured boofy hair, open minded and accepting of everyone.

Travelling is my big passion, I love roaming around the world, meeting new people, experiencing different cultures and languages.

I'm fascinated by leaders, and delve heavily into research of ancestry, history and criminology.
I'm powered by music, travel, literature, aviation, animals, art and.. Coke and Dr Pepper.

I feel very strongly about discrimination in all forms, whether it be because of race/sexuality/gender/religion.. or whether you have a face full of metal.

I'm a very easy going person, I love a drink [or 10], laughing, dancing, singing and carrying on, but I also like my quiet time, reading books and researching at libraries. I do smoke, but never, ever inside someone elses house [unless invited to, I suppose] and usually will wander off somewhere to do so anyway, as I respect other peoples belongings and hospitality.

I enjoy working with different artistic mediums, such as paints, polymer clay, wire and random junk that I find around the place.

When you travel the world.. you learn so much about all walks of life, so I do my best to be understanding, caring, and never judgemental.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life for me, to experience the world, to see different things, and to never be tied down to one spot.

Pole-danced in Phuket with wonderful Thai women while rather intoxicated, finding out that Thailand hospitals are very flash indeed, after breaking my ankle. :x
Flying over London, into Heathrow Airport and looking down through the clouds.
